A
beautiful day greeted an estimated 5,000 people to the hill
from all over the world.
There
was a very excited atmosphere as mid-day approached and the
crowd began to chant 'Roll the cheese!'
As
usual, competitors ran, tumbled, rolled and slid down after
the cheeses in the 4 down-hill races.
'Young
Farmers' and rugby players were among the experts acting as
'catchers' for the runners who were unable to stop!
There
were casualties of course, but every competitor has the
opportunity to assess the danger and is responsible for his
/ her own actions.
We
are very grateful to both S.A.R.A.I.D. (Search and Rescue
Aid in Disaster) and St. John Ambulance for helping the
injured.
We
also have to thank 'Regent Security' who provide the
marshals.
