Cheese rolling returns to Gloucestershire!!!
It might not be happening on Coopers Hill this year... however the cheese made for the main event will be getting an outing.
When news of the cancellation broke, we stepped in and bought the world famous savoury snack. All next week on the show we will be touring the county's favourite hills. Ceremonial rolling will take place every day.
I'd like your suggestions of where we should go. If you have a favourite incline that could use a little Double Gloucester please get in touch. Cummings@bbc.co.uk

John Wilkes suggests Cam Peak and even gives us positions to park, roll the cheese from and go to the Old Spot pub afterwards.
Connie Smith says Robinswood Hill would be ideal... she lives at the bottom of the hill so could catch the cheese!
Janet and Liz in Cirencester both suggest the Roman Amphitheatre in the town, they says the hills are small but perfectly formed!
Hi, I'm Mark Cummings. Every day I explore all things Gloucestershire on my breakfast show. The stories, the people, the history, the news - the complete package of what makes the county tick. On the show, and on this blog, we share our knowledge, stories and experiences to celebrate life in Gloucestershire.

As a Gloucestershire site steeped in tradition, it seems quite fitting to celebrate another tradition here... and it's easy for most people to find; there's no mistaking that silhouette for miles around.
Park at the Yew Tree Inn, up the hill for a bit of cheese rolling, then back down to the pub for a pint of cider and ploughman's. Perfect!
