Bloody awful! Tuneless awkward buckets. Rehung some time ago they are worse than they were before. You have to be a cricketer to ring the treble as the rope jumps at backstroke causing the sally to go all over the shop. Basicly ring there once to get the grab and run!
@dwigley1977 Hhhhm... Listening back, yes they are awful for 27cwt in C#... Purton, WIlts are 7cwt lighter, and sound SO much better... though that isnt hard!!
Anyway, isnt that what you do once you've got the grab...
@bellminsterboy LOL!!! :) Better be quick if you want a tenor grab, due to a near lockout we only had 15 minutes at Redcliffe - so despite there being a queue of about 10 for the tenor, only 3 got a go!!!
@bellminsterboy 1/2 an hour is well long enough at Longbridge they are shocking!! Have fun on these!! Would like to do Mere and Gillingham - day outing here I come!! And talking of light rings in heavy keys, have you seen my vid of Broad Hinton (8-3-10 in E!!) Am also hoping to get Uffington soon - 13cwt in Eb!! See if you can get any vids of Gillingham and Shaftesbury in particular, youve got me hooked... :)
