I believe the answer is:

prolix

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

'inclined' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'go on run round lake seen in pictures' is the wordplay.
'go on run round' becomes 'ro' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'lake' becomes 'L' (geographical abbreviation).
'seen in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'pictures' becomes 'pix' (short for pictures).
'ro'+'l'='rol'
'rol' placed within 'pix' is 'PROLIX'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prolix that I've seen before include "Tediously verbose" , "Tediously wordy, talks too much" , "going on and on" , "Using many words" , "Tediously wordy and lengthy" .)
