In the direction of mainland Europe, say (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eastward

(Other definitions for eastward that I've seen before include "Toward Wales, say" , "In the direction of the Orient" , "this way?" , "towards dawn" , "In the direction of Britain, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
