The second plain hunts until it is taken out of the hunt at a call. When the treble moves from lead to seconds, then one bell makes thirds and the others dodge. The bell which dodges 4-5 up makes 5ths and goes back to the front and then out to 5ths again and then dodges 4-5 down. While 5ths place is being made the bells in 6-7 dodge. Otherwise the working bells plain hunt. In practice this means that the bells on the back are triple dodging and the bells on the front seem to ring grandsire doubles.

The order of the work is:

  • 3rds
  • triple dodge 6-7 down
  • dodge 4-5 up, 5ths and down
  • make 5ths, 4-5 down
  • triple dodge 6-7 up
  • 3rds
At a bob:
Blob the bell which would make 3rds is unaffected
Blob the bell which would triple dodge 6-7 up is unaffected
Blob the bell which would dodge 4-5 up makes 3rds and goes into the hunt
Blob the bell which would make 5ths and dodge 4-5 down double dodges 4-5 up and makes 5ths and down
Blob the bell which would triple dodge 6-7 down is unaffected
Blob the bell in the hunt double dodges 4-5 down and leaves the hunt

At a single:
Blob the bell which would make 3rds makes 2nds and goes into the hunt
Blob the bell which would triple dodge 6-7 up is unaffected
Blob the bell which would dodge 4-5 up makes 4 blows in 3rds
Blob the bell which would make 5ths and dodge 4-5 down double dodges 4-5 up and makes 5ths and down
Blob the bell which would triple dodge 6-7 down is unaffected
Blob the bell in the hunt double dodges 4-5 down and leaves the hunt
