Adventurer/mountaineer runs off road (7)
I believe the answer is:
shepard
'adventurermountaineer runs off' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'road' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'road' could be 'rd' (abbreviation) and 'rd' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
