In the UK "Orienteering" means "trying to find your way to bed after an off-line"
Isn't that what spouses are for? I brought mine to NYC for just that purpose!

...and I've been there because my ex-wife used to do Eventing and I didn't manage to get the clue first time round
Need to think of a question - back later today.

The three day clue now has me baffled. How can ARK fit a three day occupation into a Monday evening?
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

Errmmm, it wasn't actually Badminton Horse Trials that I did, it was badminton (remember the possible confusion thing that prompted you to go for gym(khana)), hence the racket (spelling for Americans) and shuttle and the reference to Friday Night by the Darkness which mentions badminton, admittedly on a Tuesday, and... oh never mind. I always give you loads of clues and nobody bothers to look them up.

Too easy! I thought of the question as I crossed it, without knowing I had been "in the chair" for two weeks. Over to you.
