trundle

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

'move clumsily' is the definition.
'trundle' can be an answer for 'move' (trundling is a kind of moving). I'm unsure of the 'clumsily' bit.

'runt led astray' is the wordplay.
'astray' indicates an anagram.
'runt'+'led'='runtled'
'runtled' with letters rearranged gives 'TRUNDLE'.

'getting to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for trundle that I've seen before include "Wheel heavily along" , "A little wheel to bowl along" , "Move slowly and awkwardly" , "go around" , "44 [TROLLEY] may do" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
