Thanks Hornster & Benson, look forward to reading your posts with much anticipation, I have a gut feeling that all will be ok for yourself on 27th and me & co on 30th when we head to Bansko.
I haven't got a clue about the weather systems but heres hoping the snow in Scotland will spread to the rest of Europe and that HP will break down, and any snow that does fall makes up for it's little "vacation" by working overtime. (xxx keeping everything crossed anyway xxx)
