Travels with no man born in British Isles (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rides

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

'travels' is the definition.
(riding is a kind of travelling)

'with no man born in british isles' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'no' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'born' becomes 'n'.
'in' becomes 'amid'.
'british isles' becomes 'res' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'n'+'amid'='namid'
'namid' with 'man' taken away is 'id'.
'id' put within 'res' is 'RIDES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rides that I've seen before include "Theme park features" , "Dries up and travels" , "Travels on an animal" , "Travels on horse or bicycle" , "Journeys by horse or bicycle" .)
