Series The Listener
Number 4135
Date 30/04/2011
Grid 14×14 barred grid with 180° symmetry.
Preamble Seventeen answers travel (are jumbled) before entry, starting in the numbered cell. The perimeter, read anticlockwise, gives the reason for travelling today (11 words). Its base/right/top/left letters, after travelling, could be read respectively as HOT ROCK 'N' BEER / ON LAWN — RISING UP / THAT COURSE GO / WEST AIM THITHER. In the completed grid, solvers must highlight four travellers (22 cells), their two modes of transport (20 cells) and the one whom they are going to meet (8 cells). Also, ten straight lines must be drawn through 22 cells to show an appropriately-shaped four-word description of what each of the four wears. The Chambers Dictionary (2008) is the primary reference.
