Cryptic help

#1 Post by kathlyn » Thu Apr 02, 2020 4:56 pm

I'm trying to solve two cryptic clues, the answers are to do landmarks or geographical features in Derbyshie.

1. The cub is being moe helpful

2. Mr Phillips has been very hungry

Unfortunately the setter has not given a clue to the lenghth of word/s

Anyone any ideas.

The other could be Markeaton ? That is a river, but might do. I can't find another Phillips.
