Go slowly, when there's wild unrest around mid-May (7)

I believe the answer is:

saunter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'go' is the definition.
(I know that saunter is a more specific form of the action the walk)

'wild unrest around mid-may' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'mid' indicates the central letters (mid- can mean the middle of something).
The centre of 'may' is 'a'.
'unrest' is an anagram of 'sunter'.
'sunter' going around 'a' is 'SAUNTER'.

'slowly when there's' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
