Can't remember the method ringing at York Minster now.

Fantastic bells and Yorkshire seems spoilt for top quality bells and especially 8s. Howden are brilliant as are Tadcaster and also Skipton which wasnt in the video. Of course absolutely NOTHING beats Yorkminster for harmonic sound.

Great bells and absolutely well struck ringing, I enjoyed every minute of it.

I had a second hand one in 1968, and what a tool it was, outran all others. My greatest achievement on it was to be presented with a speeding ticket, on a level road, of 61 mph in a 50 mph limit. I raced karts at the time and knew a bit about porting and filling crankcases(stuffing) and building expansion chambers

An odd sight to see the ringer of the 5th ringing at a tower he has undoubtedly already grabbed 😁

A nice video memory of your ride and congratulations on raising such a considerable sum. 😊

i would have liked to have heard the bike noise more than the music

Pilton that's near to my place Braunton.

Some lovely rings, Richmond seems a little quiet though !

Cracking weather.

Everyone seems so calm and focused that you cant tell if they are happy or sad.

Gosh they are old arn't they

the guild of devonshire ringers mini one two ringers I know only on the internet are Ian Campbell and Ian Avery tower captains at Kingsteignton and Heavitree Lovely bells there at both towers

The wife is reading “A Single Thread” where the bells and bell ringer from this church are mentioned. Neat to hear them.

I think Heene are possibly the worst 8 I have rung on (and I have rung at Bagshot...)

What did you think of dorking in terms of handling?

Hope you enjoyed leatherhead :) i ring there every Tuesday pre covid

That's grandios ;D

The flat 8th doesn't seem very big for it to be the 8th or am i mistaken...

How much did it all cost

So wonderful to se this bells sounds!!!🙏🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

All very impressive! I’m designing my own at the moment. How did you get them all in tune?

Dorking are Gorgeous

What’s the point in a bent stay? I doubt it’s any better if it’s a straight stay

Did you hit the dumbbell as you walked past?

Wow brings the memories flooding back Steve ! I had one of the first Monza mopeds brought into the country in April 72 , had the stupid pedals for the new law , that sound is just so unique to the Garelli , looked very similar to yours apart from mine had a red tank and exposed spring rear shocks , headlamp was not round and no drop bars , used to fly for a 50 and eat all the other mopeds ! thank you so much for sharing and taking me back ! :o)

Interesting to hear them at a faster pace than normal

I'm pleased that you consider STAGS "a seemless match"....

At Cobham we had two new recruits

That was the date of my birthday

I really enjoyed watching that.

Excellent! my mini ring is no were near as good as this.

My short touch on it shortly after this recording was taken was enough to convince me that there is no way that I could ring a peal on it now. My peal on it in 1996 was with a strapper. I will never get a single handed peal on it!

I feel better about my mini bells now tuning 1b, 3, 7, 8, 10, 12b of a ring of 12 in B (update 25/03/19 - tuning 1, 2#, 3-6 of a 6 in Eb and 1,2,4,6 of a 6 in B Edit 2022 - and now a proper mini-ring in tune in F#. It's good to have imagination!! 😁

Nice job there Steve. Looking forward to part 2.

What an excellent mural on the ceiling of the first tower ringing Chamber.

3 BELLS

I cant believe Warmister are Warner and Rudhall!!

Watching Matt's excellent footage at 20:20 of the ride from Quatt to Upper Arley, there was a lot of great positioning on the road. Just as it should be done :-)

Did I miss it or did you omit "Quatt" from the text at 18:13?

If I navigated my bike on the road as badly as I navigated my bell at 15:33 I'd be in the hedge. :-(

I have now rung at Angmering, Goring, Storrington and Findon

Love the bells at New College!
