WACKY Chris Todd demonstrates how he can walk on water — in a giant hamster wheel.
The engineer, 35, plans to scrabble along like a rodent for TWO DAYS on a 66-mile trek across the Irish Sea from Wales to Ireland.

Chris, of Bromham, Wilts, hopes to raise £20,000 for charity on his metal “Tredalo” which took him 11 months to make.

He is waiting for calm weather before setting off from Holyhead.
Chris said: “Imagine spending 48 hours on a stepping machine in the gym without getting any sleep.
“It is going to be one of the toughest things I’ve ever done.”
