All in place for tomorrow 2023 😃

@@52foxbat thanks 🙂

And thank you for watching.

Well, then you got another local builder. The same thing happens with the german fiber company "Deutsche Glasfaser". Some communities are really happy, and some are just pissed, because the work done is of poor quality. With some contractors you win and with some you loose.

Really omgoodness they can make such a mess let alone noise I think they should be ashamed

I still have a contract with another supplier finishing next year. So hopefully will get city fibre. I live in a block of six and the only one not converted.

Not in Europe, I think that title goes to the Lullusglocke of Bad Herzfeld: Cast in 1038.

im aware of lullus, and the ones at Augsburg, thats why i said some of the oldest 😁

All the bells are up. If this gentleman loses his balance, and falls, he will have tons of bronze moving under and through him, with belts and pulleys that would act like limb scissors if you accidentally put an arm into it. It is something very dangerous really

Modern churches maybe, If the bells in this video were in the lower position there is about 6 inches from the bell rim to ceiling floor.

@@BradwellVillage Perhaps it is the perspective, but there is very little space there. If this gentleman loses his balance, and falls, he will have tons of bronze moving under and through him, with belts and pulleys that would act like limb scissors if he accidentally slipped an arm into it. They say that in trust lies the danger. No matter how experienced one is, no one is perfect. Greetings!

In the event that the clappers are truely inaccessible when down, surely it would be prudent to mitigate the risk by ringing up a bell at a time, fitting a muffle, and ringing it down prior to raising the next.

@@andynetherwood9394 And lash the wheel to the frame so that should the bell be accidentally knocked over, it cannot swing.

No. It’s done on the footpath beside the road using a method called ‘micro-trenching’. Did you watch the video? Lol

@@mr.afrikaans1747 Did you watch the video? lol. I'm referring to 6:15 where the road is being dug up.

@@jay-uo2biYes, the digging is the most expensive part about it. But you can actually save some money by not having to use shielded cable against squirrels, or having to install splice cabinets on each pole. And a cable being damaged underground happens way less than one being damaged in the air.

@@florichi I understand underground being far superior to over ground, but I'm from Australia and am confused as to why it's done this way. For any road built within the last 2-3 decades all power lines and comm/data lines go through simple shared pits and pipes along or beside footpaths (always in soil, not in roads or anything). It's great as retrospectively cabling can easily be added, replaced or repaired and there is room in the pits for optical splitters etc. I suppose it's not perfect as the pvc piping can be struck by tree roots and can collapse after several years but seems simpler then repeatedly digging up roads and micro-trenching. No micro-trenching or direct burying under the road.

@@jay-uo2bi Honestly I don't know why in Austria or other countries pits that can receive more cable or ducts in the future aren't used. It's kinda a "well, why should I as Utility company X install a pit so others can deplay their services cheaper? I can't profit from it and it's more expensive". And our roads are either really old, so fitting such a system is not feasable, or they are newly built with the concept of just laying empty pipes you can pull other stuff through if you want.

Wrong. Comment reported you will be banned

@@charlesf9050 it is dangerous

@@srwilson3s2k14 WRONG. sorry to say you have been reported again. BANNED

@@charlesf9050 i'm not sure what your authority on bells is, but anyone that has been in a bell tower for five minutes will know, or have been told, that the bells are always safer down. on saying that, this ring looks as if it would be tricky to fit muffles on when the bells are down.. those cages look quite small!

@@charlesf9050 I think you need to understand that when a bell is up it is extreamly dangerous. If the bell comes off balance and your in the way, it would most likely seriously injure your or possibly even kill you.

well when there down and safe not up like they are doing

Note no audio makes it look quite whereas the truth is they shout at each other with ear protection on so you can guess how loudly they shout. They will also wake you up at 8am on a Sunday morning they have no empathy for disabled either & will talk about you behind your back. I asked one of them if my career would be able to park after some time wasting he said he could move his van then as I walk back in I hear there’s always one what always one disabled person callous company. They also are very scam like 25% faster* you have to look real hard as they Purposely put it in light ink & honestly you need a microscope to see it 25 times faster* than copper 😮who had copper nowadays unless you live in the 2000 eara you already have fibre !

Very true

It is very dangerous.

Wrong

You wanna try it then? Lean against a bell while its up and it will severely injure you or kill you, prove me wrong

All correct of course, but there are other comments stating that the bells are inaccessible from below. Still, I’m not sure I’d fancy fitting muffles with bells that are up!

you must forgive these bells a little - the heavier four bells are modern , but the two trebles are thought to be the oldest bells in england still used in a ring. technically it's the fault of the much more modern foundry of Alfred Bowell (1908, bells 3,5,6)

@@adamm2693 you must listen to blislands bells

Thank you for the reply, hope to have a few more Beacon events over the next years like this one.

The Beacon Party was equally good in the afternoon and evening. I am hoping to get this footage uploaded this week.
