cheese rolling
Chasing dairy downhill
Cheese rolling is a competition where participants chase a wheel of cheese down a steep hill, attempting to catch it or cross the finish line first.
The most famous event occurs at Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire, England, where the near-vertical slope causes spectacular tumbles.
Injuries are common; catching the cheese is nearly impossible.
