Running caravan over grass? On the contrary (10)

I believe the answer is:

scampering

'running' is the definition.
(scampering is a kind of running)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for scampering that I've seen before include "in a hurry" , "Rushing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
