Remove clothes ready for excursion to the south? (5)
I believe the answer is:
strip
'remove clothes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'excursion to the south?' is the wordplay.
'excursion' becomes 'trip' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'the south?' becomes 'S' (abbreviation).
'trip' put after 's' is 'STRIP'.
'ready for' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strip that I've seen before include "Team kit" , "every football club needs" , "Divest - team's garb" , "Empty" , "footballers' outfit" .)
