Cheese Rolling at Cooper's Hill, Gloucester
Take part in one or all of five races at Cooper's Hill near Gloucester, UK as you try to be the first to catch a 7lb Double Gloucester. With the cheese rolling many a man/woman/child and occasional dog have been seen to hurl themselves down Cooper's Hill in the hope that they will be crowned the cheese rolling champ.
Taking place just once a year (sometimes not at all due to health and safety -boo!), the sport is thought to be over 200 years old and attracts participants and spectators from all around the world. Injuries vary from cuts and bruises to fractures and concusion.
