The first world championships took place in 1985 and ever since that year competitors have come to Llanwrtyd Wells in Wales to take part in this strange event. So what do you have to do? Well, a bog is like a very narrow river filed with muddy water. To win the bog snorkeling tile you have to swim about 60m up and 60m back down a very cold and dirty bog faster than anyone else. 2 Conkers The game of conkers has been popular with British school children for more than 150 years. Conkers are the hard seeds from the horse chestnut tree. In a game of conkers both players tie their conkers to the end of a piece of string. Players then take turns to hit their opponent's conker. If your conker breaks, you lose. In 1965, the first world championship was held in Ashton, England. These days competitors come from all over the world to take part. 3 Cheese rolling Every year in May in the Cotswold region of England, hundreds of people turn up to take part in the Cooper hill cheese rolling competition. The rules are simple. A large round Double Gloucester cheese is rolled down the steep hill and all the competitors then chase after it. The first person to cross the finish line wins the cheese.
