Ringing Cambridge Maximus at Leeds Parish Church

[MrRagnwald]

The guy in the blue shirt on the right- shaved head, large ears - looks just like my English grandsire Merton Sidney Badman :-)

@MrRagnwald I'm afraid I don't think it is..!

Very nice Tim

[timmeh1507]

@pal05pmajor3 very nice indeed, Paul ;)

[SrWilson3s]

I have rung these fine bells too - hard work but very rewarding.

Nice sound!! Long draught though, and the ropes seem to fall very close to the wall!! Good to ring?

[timmeh1507]

@simonbellringer Good to ring yes I'd say so, but the tower is quite wobbly and this might affect things, like some springy ropes. But nothing out of the ordinary handling wise. There is actually more space than there looks.

IVE RUNG HERE!!! They sound good, but my word they're hard work to ring.

[timmeh1507]

@KDowner94 quite hard work yes, the tower wobbles around all over the place!

[KDowner94]

@timmeh1507 Yeah. I rung Plain Hunt Cinques here - not bad for someone who only rings on an 18cwt 8, small compared to a 40cwt 12!!!

[timmeh1507]

@KDowner94 not bad at all, what sort of things do you normally ring?

[KDowner94]

@timmeh1507 Grandsire 5 and 7, plain bob, stedman (at a push). Have had a couple of go's at Norwich 6 and 8. The usual stuff really.

@KDowner94 Have recently put up a video of a lovely Whitechapel six at Chirbury if you haven't seen it! Sure you will like them ;)
