Carry on, leaving after quick look back (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
keep going
'carry on' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'leaving after quick look back' is the wordplay.
'leaving' becomes 'going' (synonyms).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'quick look' becomes 'peek' (I've seen this in another clue).
'back' is a reversal indicator.
'peek' written backwards gives 'keep'.
'going' put after 'keep' is 'KEEP GOING'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
