Cheese Rolling

swordfish · May 24

Saw clips of past races on the news today. Any thrill seekers out there going for it this weekend. Looks dangerous to me. I think it was won by an unconscious woman last year! Surprised there aren't any fatalities tbh, but I do love a nice bit of Wensleydale.

We’re intending to go to Cooper’s Hill on Monday but only to watch. Got enough ailments already !

Is it vegan cheese?

I'm guessing not. From the clips I saw, I'd describe it as more of a blood sport.

When does the footie season start again? 😂

I saw the news item too. Heard about it before & always looks amazing when you see it. English eccentricity at it's best.

A Netflix documentary series called We Are the Champions focused on cheese rolling in one of its episodes. From memory it was a good watch.

@Gribbo - thanks for posting. Much appreciated. The whole thing is nuts. I must get my name down for the next year 😉 Well maybe not. How was it for you @alan dugdale watching? Are you tempted to be an entrant next year? 🤔

No chance ! Utter lunacy, much safer watching. That hill is a sheer drop.

They all seemed to be Canadian, American, or Aussie interviewed in the clip I shared

Nuts that this still occurs in this day of health and safety, likewise that traditional football game which is a glorified punch up! That hill looks really steep.

An annoying Man Utd youtuber (is in Gibbo's video) took part and got injured, which is nice.

Howdy, Stranger!
