\nYou can do without, but it is much easier if you use squared paper. If you’ve got a printer available, you can download some Squared Paper<\/a> here, but it’s nothing special; draw it with a pencil and ruler if you want. Just make sure that you have marked out six columns. It can be good to mark a thick line every 12 lines because that checks you have got the treble right. The thick line should come in the middle of the treble lead.<\/p>\n
Now fill in the no.2 bell.<\/strong> (This leads first before plain hunting to the back then down towards the front.)<\/em> When you get to the thick line, stop<\/strong> plain hunting (the next blow is blocked by the no.3 bell anyway). Your next blow is a step back into the 4ths column. This is a 3\/4 down dodge.<\/strong><\/p>\n So far, so good. I’ve told you what to do. Now it is time to apply your brain cell. Repeat this process for the no.5 bell<\/strong> (Back to 6ths place for two blows. Hunt to the front then out.) <\/em> Dodge 3\/4 up with no.2 bell.<\/p>\n Now for the no.4 bell<\/strong>, followed by no.6 bell<\/strong>. You should end up with a row under the thick line: 1 3 5 2 6 4 <\/strong> If you don’t, then go back and try again. Remember that each bell must lead twice and lie behind twice!<\/em><\/p>\n IF you have successfully written out the first lead, you can now tackle the second one in just the same way. Notice<\/strong> that no.3 bell is following exactly the same path as no.2 bell did in the first lead. No.5 bell does what no.3 bell did; no.2 follows no.4’s old path; no.6 copies no.5’s route and no.4 takes the path of no.6.<\/p>\n After five leads, you should be back to 1 2 3 4 5 6<\/strong><\/p>\n A hint: If you use my worksheets, there are only four leads in a column. When you get to the bottom, write<\/strong> the dodge in the pale squares below but then copy<\/strong> that row into the squares at the top before you start again.<\/em><\/p>\n Breathe a sigh of relief and go and do something more exciting! If you have an even half-tidy copy if Plain Bob Minor, don’t lose it. You’ll need it again later.<\/p>\n If you have succeeded, then take a photo of your work and text it to Chris. But the next game will be something completely different.
