Nice one Dave.
"I’m not going to talk a lot about sleeping bags. My only suggestion is to bring one along that is the lightest that you think you will need."
I tried a version of this suggested by a friend in spring. Take one of the kids bags and a down jacket - the jacket is coming anyway- and sleep in both. The bag came up to my ribs, at least 20cm overlap with the jacket.
I'm sure in summer, or in a hut this is a great idea, but in a tent at 400m it was bloody miserable. I've slept warmer in snow caves. Use with discretion.
