Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake

Cheese rolling.

Oh, yes! Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire.

Thought to date back 600 years and be rooted in pagan rituals.

All right, so here are the numbers, so pay attention.

Cooper's Hill is 200 yards long.

It has a gradient of 50% and it's near vertical in places.

The original wheel of cheese was... weighed between seven and nine pounds, but it is now fake cheese made of foam for the safety of the spectators, which is a bit sad.

without even knowing we're doing the calculation.

And there were certain things.

I mean, if you were to write about something, say cheese rolling, everybody knows about the cheese rolling at Cooper's Hill in Cheltenham, you know.

A mad, mad thing to do.

But everybody knows about that.
