Cheese Roll, yes it's not about food

Cheese Rolling

Chase a 7-8 pound round of double gloucester down an insane hill to win the cheese. The cheese gets a 1 second head start and has achieved speeds of 70 MPH. Few finish standing.

It looks like they roll themselves as well as the cheese downhill!

If you think that one's barmy - how about the Dunmow Flitch trials?!
Welcome to the official Dunmow Flitch Trials website

Sounds like a rollicking good day out Ishbel.

I went there once, a number of years ago, with friends who lived in Bedfordshire... Frankly, the amount of drink that was taken means that the day remains a trifle blurred - but the photies we took turned out well!

Reminds me of the first time I attended Up Helly A in Lerwick..... Those Zetlanders can certainly put it away! Who knew hangovers could last into February?!
