Either a Classic:

				Another one step but also equally dubious solution:
 
 
 	  | Quote: | 	 		  | type 1 UR on 26 in boxes 6 and 9 | 	  
 
 
I hope I did the fancy hidden solution correctly, thank you Hugh for your great posts.

 | 	  Hugh What is the meaning of dubious? | 	  
 
 
Some say, and I do not count myself amongst their number, that
 
URs are somewhat lesser solutions compared with wings, fish, chains
 
etc. Thus the quote marks round the word.....
