Bell ringing at..... Exeter Cathedral! (Including going up to the belfry)

[@ringerjames2446]

I apologise that some of the clips are flipped. It is because some of the clips were filmed on the front facing camera and I forgot to flip it so it looks normal in the video editor.

What an amazing peal of bells and good attempt at ringing the tenor! Hope to ring there someday.

What a great video. I always find it hard ringing the two. Well done to you! Even after doing a striking course, I think it's really difficult to stay close to the treble without crashing or leaving a too bigger gap. I know why I like the bigger bells and being further round the back!! Was it hard work ringing there? Your tenor ringing was stunning. You were very brave in ringing such a massive bell. Thank you for the belfry video - I LOVE a belfry video.

very nice video, especially the climb to the belfry! LIKE always deserved for this channel

[@ringerjames2446]

Thankyou! 😊

Thank you for sharing this video I really enjoyed watching it. I haven't had the experience of ringing at a cathedral yet, biggest church I've rung at is the main Church in Solihull which has 12 bells, that's the only time I've rung in a 12 bell tower so far. You did great ringing the tenor too that must be heavy pulling it off to start with and great footage in the tower too, that tower must be really really strong to take the weight of all those big bells particularly when they are being rung.

the first two minutes, it sounds like the european style! I like it !

[@AYDEN_OFROBLOX]

pretty neat bells

I wish there was a video of the Bourdon bell Peter of Exeter Cathedral.

Did the tenor go up right or do you have to flip the clapper Very hard to check a bell of 72 cwt and get it up right.

[@ringerjames2446]

No it didn't go up right

@@ringerjames2446 it would be a miracle if it had

[@ringerjames2446]

@@Steven_Rowe yeah though I don't think anyone has before

[@Steven_Rowe]

@@ringerjames2446 I think a bell anything over two tons is borderline madness. Who really can enjoy tugging 72cwt around for over 4 hours.

[@ΝΙΚΟΣΠΟΔΑΣ-δ4σ]

@@ringerjames2446 14 bells there are the 12 the middle 8 and 10 in Eb

Whoever is ringing the 2nd really needs to stop bumping the stay at handstroke

[@DevonRingerEwan]

Was this on an open practice?

[@ringerjames2446]

Yeah
