    Nice one! 3D was especially clever... I didn't fully understand 7A but the rest of the clues helped fill it out

      It's referring to the prime-numbered letters of the words "the alalonga" ie #s 2,3,5,7 and 11!

              Wow is right! Thanks for giving my brain a workout… I feel like cryptics (the tiny ones at least) are getting easier bit by bit!
