Walks for miles - into ambushes! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tramps

'walks' is the definition.
(tramp is a kind of walk)

'miles into ambushes' is the wordplay.
'miles' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'into' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'ambushes' becomes 'traps' ('trap' can be a synonym of 'ambush').
'm' placed within 'traps' is 'TRAMPS'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for tramps that I've seen before include "Walks with heavy footfall" , "Walks heavily like hobos" , "Walks heavily with vagrants" , "Become hard or solid" , "Walks heavily like hoboes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
