The quintessential soundtrack to many small towns and villages, bell ringing is a popular hobby that only fell silent during the World Wars and the Covid pandemic.
Pros:
- Social
- A good mental workout: popular with mathematicians
- Indoors: can be enjoyed all year round
- Preserves a tradition skill
- Internet resources makes the hobby much easier
- Lots of places to ring (most towns & villages have a church)
Cons:
- Not the most fashionable hobby (you’ll get teased)
- Minor risk of being hoisted up into the air
- Can be quite maths-intensive (which can put some people off)
