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

'hearty travelling around cape?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'hearty travelling around cape?' is the wordplay.
'travelling' indicates anagramming the letters.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'cape?' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used on maps).
'hearty' anagrammed gives 'yahter'.
'yahter' enclosing 'c' is 'YACHTER'.
