long-range

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

'travelling far loner gets involved with gang' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'loner gets involved with gang' is the wordplay.
'gets involved with' indicates an anagram.
'loner' mixed up with 'gang' makes 'LONG-RANGE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
