We want pictures or video if it all comes off, including the bit where Matt spouts steam ;-)

Seriously hope not, Matt spouting steam that is!

Yes, we're definitely coming, snow or no snow. Getting ridiculously excited at the thought of such a special occasion being the Bongo's first 2013 excursion. What time do we need to get there - and (with apologies for being a fortnight behind the times) are we too late to book some soup?

If the 2 Bridges is closed we might be able to use their Car Park as an overflow if required. Provided that they don't block it off.
