'I just went barreling off down the hill,' he told the publication, 'I started running, thinking, 'This is easy, I'm beating everybody,'! but then I lost my footing and suddenly there was a big drop, and that's when I thought, 'Oh dear, this is not what I planned.'' @dailymailuk Replying to @Sonia Jarman Is he ok? 😅 A new angle has captured up-close the moment a man lost control and went flying down Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire – in very dramatic fashion. 🎥 Caters #cheeserolling #fall #cheeseroll #gloucestershire #cheese #news ♬ original sound – Daily Mail UK Ty recalls that the next thing he remembered was waking up in a hospital bed three hours later and 'everything was a bit fuzzy.'

Ty said: 'Years ago, growing up in France, I saw a Netflix documentary about cheese rolling and thought it looked like great fun. 'It was a glorious day, there was a really nice friendly atmosphere even though we had to wait an hour for The Cheese Master to start the race.

Ty commented: 'I've got a massive bruise on the top of my skull, cuts and scratches all down my arms and back, and I ache all over but I'm very grateful to still be here. 'I can laugh about the whole kerfuffle but it wasn't funny for my friends watching or my parents when they got the frightening phone call saying I was unconscious in the back of an ambulance. 'It's my first near death experience and it doesn't feel real yet. 'I definitely would not do cheese rolling again, I'm not going to push my luck. 'I wouldn't let anyone I love do it either, it's really dangerous and people are injured every year - it's not safe.

We bought old school bus on eBay & transformed it into family travel wagon – it has bunk beds, fridge & washing machine
They spent six months renovating the bus which boasts impressive features SCHOOL TRIP We bought old school bus on eBay & transformed it into family travel wagon – it has bunk beds, fridge & washing machine Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FAMILY have hit the road after buying and transforming an old school bus bought on eBay. Travelling with their two daughters, a couple from Newcastle have swapped their restaurant business for life on the go. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 The couple from Newcastle are travelling in the bus with their two daughters Credit: SWNS 8 After purchasing the bus online they set about to renovate it Credit: SWNS 8 The renovated bus now boasts a number of features Credit: SWNS Lotti Harrison, 29, and Ty Burns, 37, sold the business to snap up a £25k classic American school bus on eBay. Having always dreamed of travelling in a van, Ty spotted the 11-metre long school bus listing in August 2024. The couple knew they had to go for it and Ty renovated the bus by himself for the next six months. They fitted their new family travel wagon with bunk beds, a full-sized fridge, washing machine and king-sized bed. It's even kitted out with noise-proof acoustic panelling to help with noise levels as well as underfloor heating, air-con and a log burner. Speaking to Chronicle Live, Lotti said: "It's very fancy, it's a luxury bus - we haven't scrimped on this. "We wanted it to be as comfortable for us and the girls as possible." They then sold their restaurant business and ended the tenancy for their four-bed, three-storey town house. The couple kept essentials and sentimental items but sold off the majority of their furniture and possessions with Lotti saying "it felt so good to get rid of stuff." They then set off on their travels last month for Belgium before making their way through Luxembourg, France and Italy. How to use ChatGPT for home & garden renovations without spending a penny - see how good it looks before you even start Their next stops are Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia before they travel through Albania, Montenegro and Serbia. The route back to the UK will see them pass through Greece, Italy and France. They hope to use their savings to fund their travels for a year before deciding whether to continue upon their return. Although not without its challenges, highlights so far have included Disneyland Paris and cycling around Lake Annecy in France. 8 Ty, 37, spent six months transforming the vehicle Credit: SWNS 8 The couple snapped up the bus for £25k when they saw it online Credit: SWNS Lotti said: "We've never been that 9 to 5 vibe - but ever since having the girls we realised how quickly time goes. "We wanted to spend as much time now together as a family and watch them grow up. "Sending them to a nursery didn't seem right to us. "If we didn't do it now, we'd probably never do it." The couple always dreamed of travelling and even bought a bus they saw on the side of the road for £500 six years ago. But their plans were put on hold after realising the bus was "knackered". 8 It even features a log burner for the family as well as underfloor heating Credit: SWNS 8 The bus has been getting attention on the road Credit: SWNS Lotti added: "Since having the girls the reality was a bit more tricky." But Ty then spotted the school bus on eBay and the couple decided to go for it. Their two daughters are loving life on the road, according to Lotti. She said: "The girls have taken to it so well. "Waking up in a different place is so exciting for them." They also love that they can stay in a place if they fancy or move on if the weather is "rubbish". There have been fans along the way too with everyone "in awe" and "beeping their horns". Lotti said: "We can't go anywhere without being papped". The mum of two also hopes to inspire others to travel and encourages others to get out of their "comfort zone". She said: "There's a whole world out there." Lotti and Ty aren't the only ones to have their home on the road either. Earlier this year a couple bought a double-decker bus on eBay to transform it into a flat on wheels after being unable to afford a house. Eventually, the bus will come complete with underfloor heating, a full-sized bedroom and lounge.
