      Balls (ignore this clue, it was posted after WE's despite the aparent ordering of the page)
      Solver, the sloth, crashes out in cheap place to stay (5,6)

      Wyatt's is the one in play.

            Pity, it's a nice clue. I tried for one with "youth" in as well, but I didn't come up with any as good as that.

                  Right. I decided to look into this (probably a mistake), but is there any rhyme or reason to how one gets from 'day out' to 'Nick Park'. I get that you put the answer to the last clue into the new clue, but why Nick Park exactly.

                    Nick Park is the animator (and therefore, I guess, the go-to guy) for A Grand Day Out. Plus nick = steal and park = landscape. It's a bit of a stretch, but I'm pretty sure it's right.

                      It is correct- and I don't see how it's a stretch.

                      He's a famous enough figure - in Britain anyway. It's clued in two different ways.

                        So there does need to be a connection then. Backtracking, I don't see the link between 'solver' and 'day out' either, so I guess I'll just butt out of this now.

                          In a very nice bit of clueing from Wyatt, solver = "you" bit back is tad backwards i.e. dat around you gives "day out" a short trip

                          It's cryptic.

                                                Thinking about it, I might have been a bit loose with my parts of speech. Less infelicitous might be:

                                                    Sorry about that. I guess I listened to heart rather than head in trying to compose a clur that read well.
