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

'one who walked' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.

'isaac in the outskirts of hanover?' is the wordplay.
'isaac' becomes 'ike' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in the' indicates putting letters inside.
'outskirts of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only letters on the outskirts).
'hanover' with its centre taken out is 'hr'.
'ike' going inside 'hr' is 'HIKER'.

'with' acts as a link.
