took a long walk off a short pier
took a long walk on a short pier
went out of one's way
gone out of one's way
turn
ran like a dry creek
took water
went to great lengths
took something in stride
strode
went down like a cup of sick
went home
threw to the winds
took the bait
went down like a cup of cold sick
went away
boldly went where no man has gone before
flew by
took a hike
went the distance
went so far as
took to the streets
dyke
went off the reservation
wake
went too far
went nowhere fast
went one's own way
excursion
took a ride to Tyburn
went over like a lead balloon
went to extraordinary lengths
amble
rose to the bait
went all the way
went far
went down like a lead balloon
walk
went by
pierside
blew out of the water
pierhead
promenade
took flight
broke water
went from strength to strength
went long
ran someone off their feet
went
footslog
