Cheese Holiday in Gloucestershire
The English mass of diverse traditions. Among them are completely unexpected. But with a serious pedigree. For example, most probably traumatic tradition - the race for the cheese - goes back more than two hundred years.
In early May the village of Stilton meets everyone to participate and take a look at this unusual action. A look at what is really there. From the top of the hill Judge Cooper launches kruglyash wood in the form of a cheese head. Rules, like, simple: caught - won. But there is one caveat - the angle of the hill about fifty degrees. And, first of all, the very wood blank accelerated at the finish (if you just can not catch up) to one hundred kilometers per hour. And secondly, to run on such a slope, if someone did not try - as they say, do not try to replicate at home. Here it is important to run (or at least a whole roll). If the cheese is caught, the victory is awarded to the first crossing the finish line. From the side, of course, fun and exciting spectacle.
Holiday is quite popular. For example, the winner of the season - a veteran of the US Army. There are also curious cases among the winners. For example, a three-time winner
"Double Glotchestera" Craig Fairlie (2006, 2008, 2012) can not tolerate cheese. As they say, not for personal gain. A purely out of passion.
Tried several times this holiday "cover". Say, in the process of nation often falls, sprains, fractures, and blah blah. But while the organizers and participants of fun putting the instrument on this ostorozhnichane. Not in the British that, because of such trifles to break with tradition.
