This clue could be a double definition.

'precursor of a fall' is the first definition.
'trip' can be an answer for 'fall' (as in tripping over). I am unsure of the 'precursor of a' bit.

'an outing' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trip that I've seen before include "Jaunt" , "Pleasure excursion" , "A short journey - stumble on it" , "Set off for" , "Stumble - excursion" .)
