Mmmm, cheesy!

[southernsoftie]

Just seen a bit about that cheese-chasing thing on the news. Does this qualify as a down-hill only event? And have any fell-runners done it, and with what success?

I like cheese

[OneHillWonder]

I like cheese, but I have never chased any

[OneHillWonder]

...but I probably would. Jacobs cracker in hand

Bit like this, you mean:

Although it's just up the road, have never done it, for obvious reasons - like I don't want to be taken away on a spinal board. The clip doesn't do the steepness of the hill justice - you get an idea from how airborne the cheese gets! Have 'run' up it in the past - it's on the route of the clubs' Cotswold Way Relay' although this actually goes around the side.

Bit difficult to hang onto your crackers!

That's the funniest thing I've seen since watching the onion rolling races down Woolley Edge in my youth.
Thank you! Oh thankyou!

33 secs & 2m47 are absolute belters!! Looks like there's an uphill bit too. But I think I saw a folded number!

Looks like there's an uphill bit too.

That'll be this one - ignore the first few seconds through the trees - gives you an idea of quite how steep the hill is!

big crowds watching, but lets face it - they're mostly there in anticipation of getting a close up of the air ambulance.

Anyone up for taking an FRA contingent next year? Show 'em how it's done?
