Some Cryptic Clue Funnery
« on: April 16, 2012 »

Lets's have a bit of cryptic clue fun centered around the outdoor spots we know and love. First one to answer wins, Admin keeps tally of scores in an ad hoc fashion. Obviously threads like this need fodder so please everyone send suggestions for anything cryptic and suitable to Admin by PM or to the email address here.

Additional info
Feel free to discuss the clues in the thread but the first person to intentionally say the answer wins. On the off chance you all get stuck additional clues will be given on request (in the thread). Everytime someone wins a new clue will be posted as soon as we can lay our hands on one. Admin decision is final, feel free to argue but all dissenters will be taken to Slieve Bearnagh to be slow cooked on a Trangia and eaten.

Good luck all!!

I'm trying to figure out if it's a place or an item. Either way I'm coming up with many funny words in my head!

Do we need specific knowledge relating to the clue or should it be something everyone will know?

Is it round 2 rather than clue 2?  And is it an anagram or a cryptic clue?
