Lowering the 4th at East Crompton

[PiNInFarina18]

It is more than possible to ring-down a bell of that weight in two whole strokes. Have seen it done. Mind you i have no sympathy for the [probable] state of their hands. And it probably isn't good for the ropes either!

[george6373]

jeese my tower captain would have a fit if she saw me drop the rope like that!!!

[pal05pmajor3]

god that does sound nice. cant wait to hear the eight

[1BODGER95]

Oh yes! I have recording of the back six half muffled. It's absolutely fantastic!!!

[1BODGER95]

Lol. If the bell had been 2 tons heaver, it would have been much more impressive!

[pal05pmajor3]

if you ever come up probus i'll talk him into letting you drop the tenor lol

[1BODGER95]

Haha that would be cool. I like big'uns!

[pal05pmajor3]

yea too right. 22cwt thats over a ton

[anonmonen]

Nothing wrong with that!

[ryanoble]

Correct, I think this is more the case of ringing down the correct way!

[1BODGER95]

not quite sure it's correct...

[ryanoble]

well - technically the only problem was the jumping lol! now, the challenge is... how long does it take u to ring up a treble bell???

and heres a trick question, how many strokes does it take me to get up a 'mini ring' bell

[1BODGER95]

it takes me about 30 seconds to raise OUR treble. How long did it take you to ring up a mini ring treble????

[ryanoble]

1 strong quick pull!

[1BODGER95]

lol what has that got to do with this video if you dont mind me asking???

[ryanoble]

You have a dirty mind, I meant you just pull the sally hard once and then the bell is up!

[pal05pmajor3]

i once pulled a bell up in 10 seconds lol

[1BODGER95]

really where was it?

[pal05pmajor3]

treble at st stephen in brannel

[1BODGER95]

well done.

[pal05pmajor3]

Nice straight pull

[1BODGER95]

Do you do the "kuckoo" action?

[pal05pmajor3]

no i don't do that

[1BODGER95]

I tried that on our tenor and it went dreadfully wrong.

How are you mate?

[1BODGER95]

Lol at the time it seemed to come down quicker!
