<p>Thank you all! You are very welcoming. Which is likely a big part of QGIS' community success.<br></p>
<p>You have given me some great pointers and I will get to work on my learning.</p>
<p>Cheers all</p>

All the maps used are available for free download.<br>> I've used Windows and Ordnance Survey maps, but it should be relatively easy to follow using any version of QGIS or maps.<br>
