A Derbyshire schoolboy has built an extreme marble run using only outdoor kit and toys, while under lockdown because of coronavirus.<br /><br />In this cool video filmed by dad, Matt on April 18, a kayak, zip wire, axe, and Hot Wheels are used to feed him breakfast in a hammock.<br /><br />Matt told Newsflare, "We worked on it on and off for three days. My son watches a lot of YouTube videos and was taken with the idea of a marble run when he saw me using my router in the shed. <br /><br />"We then walked past a pile of thrown out wood and grabbed some pieces which we could rout for a marble run. It then grew from that to fill the space we had. <br /><br />"We have more ideas. Currently on the throws of building a climbing wall in their bedroom."<br /><br />Thwarted by the wind and the randomness of the objects used, it took over 100 attempts to get right!
