[r-t] 23-spliced TB major

[Philip Earis]

For completeness, I've attached the grids and lines of the 23 TB methods.

Re other "hard" peal - thanks Tony - I was not aware of these.

"Firstly 5040 30 all the work Little Surprise Major, rung at Hungerford 2 May 1980 (almost exactly 30 years ago), again all unfamiliar methods, but more methods and more changes of method"

Difficulty is in the eye of the beholder, and so to some extent its horses for courses.  I don't have the peal details, but if these are the methods in the online collection with RW reference 80/468 then it doesn't immediately look like there's too much difficulty.  It's almost like a six-bell comp... :-)

Peake's plain major series- I'd be interested to see the composition for these.  I'm well aware plain methods can be very tricky because of the speed things happen - we found ringing spliced plain minor in hand a lot less "stable" than treble dodging.

How many over- and under- works (factoring our trivial variations) were included in the Peake comps? The intrinsic number of methods is not the tricky thing - you can ring many hundreds of spliced plain based just on Double Oxford if you like (I'm not saying this was the case here).

Peter King organised a peal of 45 atw plain major in the years before the TB, I believe, which also was found to be somewhat taxing.
