For the Ringing End of My Weekend

For the ringers out there, the ringing was fantastic this weekend. I got to ring lots of Surprise Major, and there was a visiting band from Lancastershire and near Manchester. I rang three quarters on Saturday, of 1250 Yorkshire Major, 1250 Superlative Major, and 1280 Bristol Major. And Sunday I rang my third peal - 5088 Yorkshire Major (in a brief 2 hours 41 minutes).
I much enjoyed both the ringing and the company of ringers. The 't Klockhuys has a peal of 8, with a tenor weight of 1-2-7. Though they're quite light, Paul de Kok, the ringer who started change ringing there, has the bells nicely counterweighted so once you get used to them they're very nice to ring.
I took only a few pictures, and a short video as well, find below a link to my photobucket with pictures:

Also, there are links on Campanophile to the quarters I rang if you want the details.
