Wandering on pier, tearing around (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

peregrination

'wandering' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'on pier tearing around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on'+'pier'+'tearing'='onpiertearing'
'onpiertearing' with letters rearranged gives 'PEREGRINATION'.

(Other definitions for peregrination that I've seen before include "Globe-trotting" , "Travelling about" , "wandering" , "Long meandering journey" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
