Cheese rolling

Every year on the second bank holiday Monday in May in Gloucestershire, England, dozens of competitors hurl themselves down the slope of Coopers Hill in pursuit of a round of Double Gloucester cheese.

Starting at noon on May 26, 2008, there will be four downhill races, with competitors from around the world and over 2,000 spectators. There is no admission cost, and parking costs £5 (near $10). Visit www.cheese-rolling.co.uk.
