32: Bolt upright at the start, Pickles regularly lays back down at the end (5) U?A?N Usain
This one is annoying. U for 'upright at the start', regularly lays is 'a' and 's', but back so it's 'sa', down at the end could be the 'n' at the end of down. But I can't tell you where the 'i' comes from. Is the setter called Pickles or something?

Is the setter called Pickles or something?
Yep, doh
Edit: thanks. The numbers on the crossword grid ↑ are different to the “day” ones I used, and in theory at least December was supposed to be the hardest. It wasn’t, November’s pyramid one was a bastard

Spoiler alert: here are the last three clues from this year’s 3D Crosswords I think I know but can’t parse:
4: Retreating, bachelor avoids spiteful woman (5) D?B?A Debra
10: Richard Tiffany’s stuff used in The Faerie Queene (4) GE?E Gere
32: Bolt upright at the start, Pickles regularly lays back down at the end (5) U?A?N Usain
Edit: Wikipedia says “Richard Tiffany Gere is an American actor”
