Very easy once you realise that "camouflaging" is just an indicator in cryptic clues that the word is just hidden in the clue!

Sorry -- last post ambiguously phrased perhaps -- it wasn't a clue. I meant to ask: Jackoref -- is the answer "Sway"?

Marino on the Belfast -- Bangor line, indeed -- "losing" San, short for sanatorium.

Hope this is acceptable then:

Place to find an exciting ride perhaps, but you might also discover a base purple bollock ache!

A year or so ago, we had a clue with "masturbated on" as an anagram of Dumbarton East -- in comparison with which yours above seems quite tame ! I'm having problems working it out, though...

GusB has nailed it! I can't resist an anagram which is strangely appropriate to the place!

Open floor -- I'll have a go.

At start / end of most runs: we hear tribute from uncultured speaker, to durability of episcopal headgear

Bishop's Lydeard maybe but I'm not sure why other than reference to episcopal

I had in mind, non-BBC-English speaker saying, "Bishop's lid [occasionally, slang term for hat], 'e 'ard" -- bit far-fetched maybe, but this is Cryptic World...

OK, I think it's mine again ...

Meeting Jon's Cougar North of the Wall ... at very remote points?

Well, it's an anagram. And the Wall is ... well, there's a real wall spanning the UK, of course, from coast to coast.

Congratulations to GusB again. "Remote points" also a reference to there being a junction.

Brilliant anagram -- which I'd never have figured out ! As I've mentioned, I'm better at setting 'em than getting 'em.

The "remote points" bit completely passed me by, to be honest! :)

I'm rather better at solving than setting, so open floor please.
