Gillingham man's 'eternal pride' defending Gold Hill Cheese Race title

Available for over a year

The annual Gold Hill cheese run took place this weekend. A dash up one of the most iconic streets in the country - made famous by a bread advert in the 70s. Competitors charge up the VERY STEEP cobbled street carrying a rather weighty cheese; 23kg for men, 16kg for women. There are children's races too. Ceri New won the women's race. Steve Harris spoke to Jasper MacDermot, from Gillingham, who won the gentleman's race. Jasper spoke about the 'cheese' they carry up the hill.
