Indirect routes to the back of beyond? (7)
I believe the answer is:
detours
'indirect routes' is the definition.
'detours' can be an answer for 'routes' (detour is a kind of route). I am not certain of the 'indirect' bit.
'to the back of beyond?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'to' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Another definition for detours that I've seen is " Temporary indirect routes".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
