Something a "little" different part 2

Previously, I mentioned about ringing little methods as something slightly different.

Well here are some more, but this time the treble hunts to 3rds and back each time.

Stanwell
This is quite similar to Stedman Doubles but going in slow each time but without the frontwork.

So its:
3rds -> Double Dodge 4/5 Up -> Lie -> Double Dodge 4/5 Down -> 3rds -> Lead ->2nds -> Lead

This has a "grandsire" start, so 2 hunts in, 3 makes a place and in and 4/5 dodge.

Clewer
Like Stanwell but instead of double dodges there are places at the back.

Hampton
Again this is like Stanwell sort of. The place in 3rd are now places in 3/4 with a 4/5 dodge and long 5ths.
Ashford
Ashford is identical to Hampton but the 3/4 places are replaced with a 3/4 dodge instead.
Littleton
While Littleton looks very different from the Stanwell-type ones above.
Order of work
4 blow lead -> 4/5 up -> 2nds from the back -> 4/5 down

The strange thing or different thing is the 2nds from the back, this is where the bell at the back having lay in 5ths place hunts all the way down to 2nds place, rings twice there(over the bell doing the long lead) and hunts back out. It is similar to a single in bob minor there the bell about to do 3/4 down makes 3rds and heads out to the back, so this could give some experience of turning round without getting to the front.

Lathbury
Lathbury is littleton only with the 4/5 dodge replaced with a 4/5 place. This has the effect that there is two blows in 4ths followed by 3 in 5ths.

And for something slightly different...
Laleham
Looking at it, the first thing that strikes me is that it is not symmetrical. Being a little lazy with most methods I realise that they are symmetrical, take Plain Bob Doubles, if you split it in half while making 2nds it is a mirror image of itself, similarly if you were to split it in the middle of long 5ths. This one is different. In a lot of ways this is quite simple you have the plain hunt section and the other bit. So plain hunt till you get to the back, if you took the treble from the lead make the crankshaft (5ths-4ths-5ths places) and hunt in, if the treble takes you then just plain hunt.


Learning it by where you and the treble are will help with ropesight.
