Long-distance travellers in camp seen relaxing (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spacemen

'long-distance travellers' is the definition.

'camp seen relaxing' is the wordplay.
'relaxing' is an anagram indicator.
'camp'+'seen'='campseen'
'campseen' with letters rearranged gives 'SPACEMEN'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for spacemen that I've seen before include "Astronauts" , "High fliers" , "they have a high trajectory" , "long-distance travellers?" , "Adventurous travellers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
