When I'm ringing a heavy-ish bell [my hometower's tenor is 1.5 tonnes] , I tend to bend my knees for the backstroke, but I notice you were putting most of your effort in at the handstroke. Is that what is needed at Exeter?
@Michael McBain - It's because it drops at backstroke. Normally that is the case with bells this weight hence why you have to pull harder at handstroke.
The only tenor I've rung was at my hometown Great Amwell. Nice ring of 6. The hardest bell I rung was the 4th at All Saints Hertford.
Well Done you rang a 3.6 times bell with know help
Well done. The bell is 3.6 tones (metric). :-)
i kept over pulling when it dropped a bit because i was thinking of liverpool, and then i regretted pulling ;)
Jesse!!! 😳
Jemma i just noticed the sally is taller than you whem you short this.
You done well
Great!
Goes nicely doesn't it :)
I have ;) I rang the tenor there a couple of years ago when I was 14, I thought they were not too bad!
I didn't like ringing that one at all, took me about 2 minutes to stand it
I'm going to be ringing Grandisson in July or June
