Not that I am aware of nor do I see that phraseology in the post you cited. As I read Steven's suggestion, Suetonius remained with his force for most of the journey south but, at some point, rode ahead with his guard cavalry to reconnoitre the situation. That is very different from what Hingley seems to be implying.
