go cheese hill

go cheese hill

For some crazy reason the hill is called Cooper's Hill.
Soooo, it's named after a guy who makes barrels but large lumps of cheese are thrown down it.
It is amazingly steep, although I've lived in the area all my life I've never been tempted to take part.
If you stand at the top the feeling is more like standing at the top of a cliff than a slope that anyone normal would run down.
I don't know if it was clear from the video but the reason there are catchers is that there is NO run off. I think there's a house at the bottom and the runners would crash into their garden hedge if the catchers weren't there.

i cannot believe you have never taken part.

I'm not sure if the cheese hill thing looks fun or extremely painful! But did you see this on the same page? shin Kicking championships (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=03XrnpUN540&feature=related)!
There are some strange sports out there aren't there, and I'm glad unicycling isn't the strangest :D

I wonder why they're all wearing lab coats.

Because I've stood at the top and looked down that's why.:D

Bikers call YOU silly. Bikers call ME awesome.

i love the fact that there is a guy tending the fight like it's a pair of sheep, with a long stick
