What is the cheese rolling competition?

Cheese rolling is a tradition in the English county of Gloucestershire.

The event is said to have taken place on Cooper's Hill since the 1820s, it sees competitors chase a cheese wheel down a very, very steep hill.

Definitely NOT to be tried at any steep hills near you - the event often sees lots of injuries and has medics on standby, ready to help with heavy falls, bumps and bruises.

Over the years the hill has seen people competing in all types of outfits from sports gear to superhero costumes.

One thing is for sure, the cheese always wins.
