Cryptic Towns

[Meridian richard]

You are thinking along the right lines but not quite correct

You are missing part of the clue

 

[Ivo]

Didsbury?

A, E and O are in your clue, so I have searched for a location with only I and U (and conveniently the demi-vowel Y) in it and this is the best I can find.

 

[Meridian richard]

Not correct I'm afraid

The clue is in two parts to give two parts of the answer

 

[Seacook]

Every vowel bar three

With no confidence at all, I'll try Alloa

 

[Meridian richard]

Confident or not its the correct answer

Every (all)vowel bar three (o a)

 

[Seacook]

Confident or not its the correct answer

Every (all)vowel bar three (o a)

The more I think about that clue the better it looks.

The next one might not. It is

half concealed entrance

------------------------
Two days and no takers, so I'll provide a somewhat simpler clue:

partly covered access point

 

[Meridian richard]

Coventry

 

[Seacook]

Coventry

Correct. The original clue was intended to convey half of COVert + ENTRY. The second version showed the letters to be used.

 

[Meridian richard]

What to do with cards in Texas

 

[Seacook]

What to do with cards in Texas

Oldham

 

[Meridian richard]

Yes. That's correct

 

[Seacook]

Laws can be broken - every one

 

[Meridian richard]

Walsall

 

[Seacook]

Walsall

That's the one.

[Seacook]

Great Yarmouth

I don't have time to compose another one immediately, so it's open floor.

------------------
No one has posted another clue, so here goes:

hacking about in the rear

------------------------------

Time for a hint or two:

hacking (about)
(in)
[the] rear

Indicators are in parentheses; square brackets shows a word that is not vital to finding the answer.

This town does not have a railway station.

 

[Meridian richard]

Just seen this at the bottom of the page and didn't realise you had set a clue

Its Buckingham

 

[Seacook]

I was beginning to think that I was going to have to scrap this one.

You are, of course, correct.

Spot on with Tring

 

[Seacook]

The next is:

[Seacook]

Nope, 'fraid not.

--------------------------------
Hint: no anagrams are involved

[Seacook]

Yes, Eccles it is.

sort of mail = E
copied = CC
Leslie = LES

--------------------------------------------
It;s now been ten days since the last clue was answered, so here is another to keep the game going.

Rap order to tramp up to a point?


I had forgotten about this and failed to post any hints. The intended answer was Westward Ho!.

The floor is open for another clue.

 

[Welshman]

Over a week now, so try this one:-

Don't people live amicably with eachother in this part of Denbighshire?

 

[Welshman]

Time to knock this on the head.

I was thinking of the Denbighshire village of Loggerheads.

Open Floor.
