Ringing up the 46cwt tenor at Sherborne Abbey

Ringing up the tenor before a successful peal attempt on the world's heaviest ring on 8 bells. Yes, it went up wrong, but we went up and flipped the clapper over. A fantastic set of bells. Very loud and heavy, but worth the long journey by all accounts.

Well done on that, 4 hours 9 seems an awfully long time to ring for! I rang a peal yesterday at only 2.42 and that was plenty long enough! Great sounding tenor.

[@combineharvestersam]

Smoothly done!

Got this beasty up on my own, although it went up wrong of course. Then went straight onto getting the 6th up and almost died!! Good old fashioned 8, I like them even if they aren't the finest heavy 8 out there :)

Going here today for the 2nd time!

Yes right above!

I suppose if I said I could raise that bell without a strapper I'd receive the comment "That's bull!"

Now just recast the front seven and it would be a brilliant peal.

I didn't know how the Bells ring up so fast. They stopped bobbing after they've stopped. Ring Ian

Heavy bells bigger than 23cwt are not easy to stand
