    How bonkers are people running down a steep hill to catch a cheese. But I loved it sadly a German won the first race. Long live madness.

    It's very similar to the bonkers idea of people dressed in red aimlessly chasing a bag of wind round a field once a week.

    I used to live near Brockworth where they do this and that slope is too dangerous to walk down never mind hurling yourself at speed chasing a wooden cheese. GRH casualty is always busy on this day!
