Thanks MontyVeda (for some reason I'm not finding your username in the drop-down list just now).

I seem to be struggling to upload pictures at the moment. They get to about 40% and then die. I've tried both png and jpg, and resizing.

I'll try again later.

Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling is a tradition in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, where competitors race down a steep hill chasing a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese. The event is held annually on the Spring Bank Holiday.

I think that we have all been distracted by the sunny weather!

 

[Aravis]

It's not the cheese-rolling hill.

My clues are attempting to lead you to the name of the nearest village.
