Went around; maybe risked touring the West End (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skirted

'went around' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'maybe risked touring the west end' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'touring' is an insertion indicator (touring can mean going round).
'end' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'west' is 't'.
'risked' is an anagram of 'skired'.
'skired' enclosing 't' is 'SKIRTED'.

(Other definitions for skirted that I've seen before include "Went round" , "in a mini?" , "Flanked" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
