Sounds like you may have to get it picked up onto a loader, or disconnect driveshaft/s, normally it'll tow a short distance in neutral.

Would the engine need to be running Kirsty?

Have you an actual problem with your bongo bob? Or was it just a cursory query?

No worries Bob... Are you sure the handbrake hasn't seized? Just because the actual handbrake lever releases doesn't necessarily mean that the rear pads(shoes?) have released in the small drum on the rear wheels... Especially if the handbrake has been applied then condensation has led to surface rust. Do the rear wheels creak if you try to move the bongo?
