Start of spring walk (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

march

I believe this is a double definition.

'start of spring' is the first definition.
(first month of spring)

'walk' is the second definition.
(march is a kind of walk)

(Other definitions for march that I've seen before include "The month for military movement" , "Colonel Bogey, for example" , "Journey undertaken by army etc" , "Stride; month" , "Month - advance in step" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
