A day char regularly spent going to continent (6)
I believe the answer is:
africa
'continent' is the definition.
(Africa is an example)
'a day char regularly spent' is the wordplay.
'day' becomes 'fri' (abbreviation for Friday).
'regularly spent' means one should take alternating letters (letters removed at regular intervals).
The alternate letters of 'char' are 'ca'.
'a'+'fri'+'ca'='AFRICA'
'going to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for africa that I've seen before include "The dark continent" , "Mali's continent" , "Out of -, novel by Karen Blixen (filmed)" , "Location of 14 downb" , "Second largest continent" .)
