Walter Cornelius is a true local legend. He came to England as a teenager from his native Latvia in the 1940s, having escaped the Iron Curtain by rowing four hundred miles across the Baltic with a Russian bullet wound in his stomach. Safely settled in Peterborough, he worked as a lifeguard at the Lido for the rest of his days, teaching thousands of children to swim. But Walter was not one to live quietly... He became famous for the fearless strongman stunts he pulled, including flying (nearly...) over the Nene, walking on his hands for 153 miles and breaking over 50 World Records – raising thousands of pounds for charity in the process
