Part of a course of Cambridge Surprise Royal being rung on the 'challenging' bells of Hereford Cathedral. This was part of the open ringing session for those attending the Hereford Ringing Course 2009.

  • Has the tenor been rung up wrong?

  • @SrWilson3s I dont like massive long drafts e.g Cricklade but I hate really short ones like Oakdale, Poole

  • @SrWilson3s Yes, there are quite a few nice low-draught rings out there - Rodbourne Cheney and Charlton Kings to name but two. I can't say I like a "long-long" draught ring,such as Cricklade, but often they are more predictable, providing you keep a tight rope.

  • @simonbellringer Well I don't think im wrong as from my own personal experiences and the towers I have rung at thats just how I feel. You prob had different experiences such as these towers you named and obviously it didn't suit you but its all good us ringers are all individuals and have our preferences can only go on the experiences of all the towers we have rung at , I don't really enjoy ringing a towers with really long draughts personally!

  • @SrWilson3s Longbridge Deverill, East Hagbourne and Swindon Village are examples of you being wrong - they go awfully!! All very low draught and all very difficult to ring!! More responsive maybe, but in many respects I prefer a longer draught ring!!

  • @ItsAlexOmg Attack them with the melting pot!! The tenor really is an awful bell!!

  • Ive never rung here but Ive always felt the closer you are to the bells the better they are to ring and more responsive - the towers I have rung at where the bells are straight above prove my point to me anyway so what makes these so bad?

  • why are they challenging to ring? does it have anything to do with that clunky sound in the background?

  • @1982Rossini Yes I have!

  • @timmeh1507

    Clearly you haven't been to Abergavenny!
