Summary of the idea/dream: I have a crazy dream to take part in the Cheese Rolling holiday.
Though I've lived in Britain for a long time there are a lot of things this country is famous for which I haven't seen. One of my crazy dreams is to visit the Cheese Rolling holiday this May. Let me tell you a little about it.
Every year on one of the May Mondays a small county in England, Gloucestershire celebrates a very noisy and unusual holiday. It's called "Cheese Rolling" and it's already been celebrated for 200 years. The celebration is held at Cooper's Hill near Brockworth. The person in charge proclaims the beginning of the rolling and counts four. After counting three he pushes a Double Gloucester cheese of 25 cm in diameter and weighing 4 kg down the hill. After he has counted four the racers start rushing after the cheese. The cheese can reach speeds up to 60 km/hour what's naturally exceeds the speed of a human way too much. Four rounds are held for adults (one of them is only for women) and three rounds are held for children. The winner gets a big Gloucester cheese
