@dailymailau: The event challenges people to pursue a 3kg Double Gloucester cheese rolling down the steep 200 yard hill,  Hundreds of people have been gathering at Cooper's Hill to watch the occasion that is thought to have its roots in a pagan festival celebrating the return of spring. Competitors chase the cheese down the 180m-high hill, with many tripping and tumbling on their way - only to pick themselves up and resume the pursuit.  The first runners to catch the cheese, which can reach speeds of up to 70mph, are declared victors in various races across the event that dates back to the 1800s. #cheese #cheeseroll #stack #competition #race #bizarre #challenge #fyp #dailymail #australia
