TRAVELLING across the Channel may seem like quite a normal way of raising money for charity. That is, unless you are crossing in a specially-adapted Citroen 2CV.

Darren Arthur, 28, who is a partner at Frome Citroen 2CV, has been building his floating 2CV for the past three months. He said: "I've always wanted to do something for charity, and something with a 2CV, so this is perfect."

Mr Arthur is raising money for the Big Issue Foundation, and aims to cross the Channel in the 2CV next summer.
