Howdy, there are 13 of us going from Manchester on the 14th, staying at the Samokov.

A few of us went a little later in Jan this year and it was great, nice and busy, as mentioned above there was a bit of ice, but it's not a major problem, just close your eyes and think of the bars at the bottom of the slope :-)
