Cheese Rolling Event Goes Ahead

Despite being canceled for the second year running the cheesiest event in the world still took place. Although the weather was atrocious hundreds of people cheered on the cheese-rollers as they raced down a large hill in Gloucester, local boy Chris Anderson won three of the mens races and claimed 3, 8lb barrels of cheese. The slope of the hill had a gradient of 1:2, and was 200m long.
