DORSET, ENGLAND: Paul Brown, 41, diced with death after he rocked up to the cliffs at Outdated Harry Rocks in Swanage, Dorset, and decided to give it a go because "it looked easy." The foodie and social media critic tours the country every Sunday on his Super73 e-bike and dines at the finest Michelin star restaurants on Britain's coastal fronts. The vlogger admitted he's been having nightmares ever since but the episode has not put him off his food. As he decided to cliff walk on Old Harry Rocks but immediately bottled it and admitted he will stick to burgers because it was too scary. Brown confirmed he was "more of a food blogger than a YouTuber".

 In the heart-stopping video footage, Brown attempt the "walk of death" before realizing he will die if he makes even a 'silly mistake'. The online vlogger filmed the video showing the cliff's rocky terrain and terrifying 160-foot drop on either side. He said, "I was on a bike ride and stopped off at Old Harry Rocks and then saw there were signs warning people but they weren't that dramatic." The YouTuber walked up to the vertical rock face in just his trainers and his favorite American football kit but then froze and began to inch away from the cliff. In June 2022, a man who attempted to walk on the Harry Rocks slid down the grassy bank and landed on his back after a terrifying 120ft drop. The man further managed to get on his feet and clamber uphill to join his friends.

The podcaster attempted to then squat down to get his bearings and slowly turned around before he stood up and walked to the mainland. He could be heard saying, "Okay, I don't like it" to his two pals, who were standing behind as they were watching him hike the cliff. Brown said, "The path looked steeper than it looked." He continued, "When I got to the edge I thought hang on a minute, 'there's a 50-meter drop to the left and right, one silly mistake and I'm dead.'" Although Brown is one of many daredevils to attempt this impressive feat, a few visitors have nearly fallen on the steep cliff.

Brown diced with death when he tried to shuffle along the edges of Old Harry Rocks. He told MailOnline, "I've never had a fear of heights before, even though when I went to the Hoover Dam it freaked me out. But I thought it looked easy. When I started walking I realized I didn't like it. The reason why I'm keen to talk about it is to save other people's lives in the future, it's a cliff edge but you don't realise how scary it is until you walk across it. It looks as if it is a well-trodden path, lives could be saved if it was crossed off, there should've been a barrier or a fence there." He further added, "I like nature so whatever nature chucks my way I will do; I have got no plans to do anything that crazy like that again unless anyone wants to sponsor me! Of course other people could do it but maybe not me, now reflecting on it I didn't realise how bad it was. I've been having nightmares ever since but I still managed to eat my food. The most dangerous thing I did before then Ukraine to deliver medical supplies."



 

Paul Brown is mostly famous for his food vlogs, the London foodie has a massive TikTok following of 109,000 and Instagram followers of 17,000 on his @paulbrown_uk account. The foodie admits that he will only stick to food vlogs and not attempt to put his life at risk again as the experience was too scary.
