Why???? :blink:

 

Coz Gloustershire folk are weird :lol:

 

Isn't that where Tango lives? :D

 

Too right. It wasn't banned because it's dangerous, but because it got so popular for spectators that it was causing chaos with all the parking and crowd control. It wasn't held this year because of that, but should be on for 2011 after they've sorted it out. People were visiting from all over the country and abroad due to the TV coverage it was getting.

We also play football in the river at Bourton-on-the -Water which is well worth seeing.

Do you take part then Terry?

 

If you saw Coopers Hill you wouldn't ask that question :blink: That video doesn't do it justice as it's a lot steeper than is apparent on that. Was never tempted even when I was younger and fitter. One of the local lads has won it on a regular basis in recent years, but I don't know how much longer he'll carry on.
