@pretorium Of the towers that I ring at on Monday and Wednesday evenings, the first bit of ringing that the neighbours hear, right through to the last bit of ringing the neighbours hear is shite. The Tuesday and Friday towers I go to are much better. Yes, plenty of ringers can't ring up and down in peal properly. Fairly recently, a member of the CCCBR Education comittee was bleating to anyone that would listen, that ringing up should be no quicker than 5 mins-this video proves otherwise.
@fartwell2000 Just under a minute. The Devon ringers have the right idea, get the bells up as quickly as comfortable, as that is when the most faults are accrued.
lovely sounding bells st stephen in brannel which is my home tower are about that weight and it is so nice to hear bells that weight being rung properly because we aint the best of ringers.
I love the sound of bells ringing up in peal. I been trying to do this at my tower but I can be very out of place as I not done this for years due to health problems which stopped me from ringing until it was sorted. Also now I ring up light bells to quickly which re-learning to slow down to stay in place.
Very cool! I don't think we've ever done that at the church I go to. I will suggest having a next practice. Is that 10 bells? What is the tenors weight?
These will soon be back in action, look forward to it as Yardley is one of the few Brum towersI haven't rung at.

I find a lot of ringers cannot ring up in peal properly & consequently the first ringing the neighbours hear is rubbish

Very nice. Why is the treble sally different colors from the others though?

@ItsAlexOmg
Some towers do this so that when visiting ringers come, they know which one's the treble.
BUT, it could be that the old rope snapped, and they just put another one up, of different sally colour.
