I never said thankyou for this. An obvious solution, perhaps, but one I was
just not up to spotting for myself!
Helpfully, if you ring Cambridge with these bobs, both the W and the H end
up in the same lead so there is then an entire course in which to settle
down again before the next call. (We rang a good quarter, though -- the
second 720 was pretty much spot on.)
Turning this effectively upside-down, you could move the 4ths, while the
treble is hunting 2-3, to 6ths, although this doesn't affect a coursing
three. Has there ever been a peal of Minor rung in a single method where
each extent uses a different call (or calls)? Might be interesting!
