where I had to be shot off a horse with an arrow.
So in order to do this,I put a harness on,
fixed a cable to the harness from a tree,about twenty-five yards of cable.
I got on my horse,remembering that the arrow was fixed on my chest and when I lift my arm the arrow pops up.
So I gallop straight to the end of the cable,which stops me in mid-air.
The horse gallops on,the arrow pops up and I hit the ground.

Exercise 3 and 4
They go from Little Venice,which is where we are today,
down to Hampstead Road Lock,which is in Camden Town.
The journey down to the Hampstead Road Lock is a distance of about two and a half miles,
that's five miles in total,and the return journey takes one and a half hours.
There isn't really a typical passenger.
Um,tourists from all countries of the world,
groups of old-age pensioners who book the boat
and they're our favourite customers for sure,um,all sorts of people.
The journey goes from here through the tunnel,under Maida Hill,
which is about 250 metres long.By canal standards it's quite short.
It's one of the shorter tunnels on the system.
The fastest that the boat travel is probably about four
and three quarter miles an hour although the speed limit is actually four miles an hour.
The journey makes its way around the north-west edge of Regent's Park through the London Zoo.
There's a beautiful aviary and a few antelope to be seen
and sometimes we get to see the elephant walking around.
And then winds down in a very narrow channel past
some beautiful old houses and down to Hampstead Road Lock.
In the high summer we make four trips a day.
The return fare for an adult is￡4.50,
or single fare ￡3.50 and then there are reductions for children and pensioners.
I love boats,um,the fresh air is a great attraction.
If there's a sunny day I'm out in,and yes,meeting people too is very important to me.
