Risk going on outside having abandoned trunks in Welsh town (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aberdare

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

'welsh town' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'risk going on outside having abandoned trunks' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'risk' could be 'dare' (I've seen this before) and 'dare' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aberdare that I've seen before include "Welsh (former coal-mining) town" , "town in South Wales ..." .)
