Preamble
Seven rows are thematic, comprising in order:
1 two adjacent rows which, when read consecutively, give the title of a novel – each row is clued separately by wordplay;
2 three adjacent rows which, when read consecutively, are descriptive of certain pursuits during The Excursion; 3 a jumble of the author's name; and
4 two characters, clued by jumble.
All other rows (clued in correct order) and columns contain two entries of aggregate length 13, except for the central column which contains two six-letter entries. Entries are clued normally, and in the correct order. Row answers are entered normally. In each column, one answer is entered normally and the other as a jumble. Bars in normally clued rows and columns (not required in solutions) would display 180° symmetry. Clued answers include two geographical names, a proper noun, and a verbal form (in OED) of a noun in Chambers.
