Britain is building a 13ft wall by the Jungle migrant camp in Calais to stop refugees trying to get to the UK. But is is possible to scale it? Our reporter went to find out.
The 13ft-high barrier will stretch for one kilometre along dual carriageway approaching the port in Calais to keep migrants away from the lorries coming to Britain.
Nick Ferrari reckons a young, fit person could easily climb a wall that high... so he sent LBC reporter Charlotte Wright to try.
Here is Charlotte's first attempt.

Here's attempt number two, this time with a trampoline. She doesn't fare any better.

Charlotte made one final attempt to get over the 4metre wall. Did she make it?
Success at last! All you need is a ladder and the helpful guys at Ivybank Property Maintenance @NickFerrariLBC @LBC pic.twitter.com/AyTkuCJSGd
