Ian,
Get a couple young friends, take off the bags and give it a push. If it
is going to go, it should. I have bumpstarted mine on occasion, until I
figured out about that darned connector in the back of the solenoid
valve coming loose!
You can always get a rope and a car and tow it back up that hill!
New thought: Before you bump it, put the bike in gear and push it
backwards with the clutch out. I think that will turn the started motor
as well. If it is stuck, that might dislodge something.
Good Luck.

PS If I lived a little closer to you, I would be willing to take it off
your hands (and maybe the Elefant as well). There is that little problem
of the "water" between you and me.
