The following clues form a word chain. The last three letters of one word or phrase form the first three letters of the next word, and the list wraps round from the last word to the first. Mostly straightforward with the odd one needing the Stitchionary, but there may be one or two hyphenated words, alternative spellings or short phrases in there, and remember it was compiled by a Brit. Quite a few there, so feel free to grab two or three  -1. Position from which things are viewed standpoint -2. Law enforcement agency Interpol -3. Something that acts as a guiding principle polestar-4. Spider of the family Theraphosidae tarantula -5. Capital of the Mongolian People's Republic Ulan Bator -6. Type of filled pasta tortellini-7. Unfavourable, adverse inimical -8. Concerning generation of heat calorific -9. Woman's shawl fichu-10. Burial ground churchyard -11. European plateau, site of heavy battles in WWI and WWII Ardennes -12. Young bird nestling -13. Way in ingress -14. Member of a Palestinian sect circa 2nd century BC to 2nd century AD Essene -15. Weaken enervate -16. In a relaxed position in military ranks at ease -17. Free from disease-causing micro-organisms aseptic-18. Lightly touch or stroke tickle -19. Government where officials are politically corrupt and financially self-interested kleptocracy-20. Chemical compound that does not contain a closed chain or ring of atoms acyclic-21. Small parasitic wingless insects lice-22. Uranus or Neptune ice giant-23. Waiting room antechamber -24. Small citrus tree with small pear-shaped fruit bergamot -24a. Maxims expressing principles etc mottos -25. Opera by Puccini Tosca -26. Medical instrument scalpel-27. Large fish-eating bird pelican -28. Card game canasta

7. inimical 8. calorific 9. fichu
Sometimes lost is where you need to be. Just because you don't know your direction doesn't mean you don't have one.
