My only problem with today’s Strands puzzle is that the answers here don’t necessarily reflect my own camping experiences. Don’t get me wrong, I love camping – but surely the answers should include things like ARGUEWITTHEAKIDS, SHIVERINTHERAIN and WISHYOUWEREATHOMEINTHEWARM. But that’s Britain.
Anyway, this is a decent edition of Strands, if not too tricky. The theme clue gave the game away quite a bit, but there’s enough wiggle room for answers that they weren’t all obvious.
