Yesterday evening's trip to the Maldon Beer 'un Cider Fest was most enjoyable despite the moist conditions. The natives were friendly and keen to know more about what we do, many of them remembering us from last year.
We sorely missed Oaky cos there was a quiz
Cryptic clues were given to identify places in Essex, it was proper hard but I impressed myself by solving one of the clues: Cross the Humber Estuary (10) = HULLBRIDGE
The unsolved clues are...
1. Hoping and praying for a storm (10)
2. Gentry traveled up an Essex river to get here (5,5)
3. A bovine knuckle gone bad (5,5)
4. Dead and buried (7)
5. What an aircraft might do (7)
6. I WILL cross the river (eight letters)
7. The value of a pub (7)
8. Do this before you pot the ball (9)
9. Bin there (6)
10. Floating kitchen made from natural resources (10)
11. A herbal river (eight letters)
12. Enjoy an after-dinner drink in South Wales, the Isle of Wight and Essex (7)
See if you can solve the clues before Oaky does!
