Tour of Britain visits Caerphilly 14th Sep 2011
Stage 4 of the Tour of Britain cycle race was from Welshpool to Caerphilly. In Caerphilly they came through Llanbradach, Pontygwindy Road and up Cardiff Road (against the one-way-system). The first part of this video is filmed outside Lloyds TSB in Cardiff Road.
They then travelled up Caerphilly Mountain to the snack bar on top, turning right to travel down the mountain past Castle View estate, and turned right down Nantgarw Road to the finish in Crescent Road, where the second half of this video was filmed.
The music over the first half is to hide the appallingly inane commentary that someone nearby was giving to her small son, all of which was sadly caught on the video! ;)

This interesting twelve hang in a monumental wooden structure above a great stairwell. They hung in the central tower of the Cathedral until 1872 when they were moved here. The ringing chamber is formed by wooden panelling and the belfry protrudes through the roof of this chamber, and is hidden from view outside by a curtain wall with louvres in it. They go mostly OK, though some bells are difficult because of frame movement. The rope circle is slightly unconventional, with the front bells in a slightly curved line and the back bells spread out with the tenth being paticularly isolated away from other ringers. Two of the bells in this ring , the 9th and tenth are survivors of a ring of six bells which were brought to Christ Church from Osney Abbey in 1546.
This is some Bristol S Maximus on the occasion of the Royal Wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton on the 29th of April 2011; the Oxford Society of Change Ringers having embarked on a day long 8 tower tour of their own bells in the city, to form a noisy tribute to the happy couple. It was a privelige to join them and ring on the historic bells of Oxford.
