Old Boggy Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 That hill is obviously steeper than it appears in the video. I think that the cheese won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twenty Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 This is the Coopers Hill Cheeserolling event that takes place in Brockworth ,Gloucestershire every year. I have attended (as an onlooker),many times, and the view from the summit is frightening, the hillside is actually concave, so its hard to see the finishing line. It is estimated to be about a 45-50 degree angled drop, chasing a 7lb circular Double Gloucester cheese, which reaches a speed estimated of 70mph. Injuries are numerous ,the event was stopped a few years ago due to the carnage, but still goes on now, probably unofficially. Members of the local Brockworth Rugby club act as catchers at the bottom of the hill, and basically tackle the chasers, to prevent them running into the cottages at the bottom. One year there were 33 injuries, collar bones, ankles and wrists being the major contributors ! One competitor, (Chris Anderson), has won 22 Cheeseraces, and is still competing now...........he obviously likes cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leach Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Just hope the cheese race was worth it depending on the cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
