Thank you all for your suggestions. It is all coming back to me slowly now....
I decided to have a go at a large scale monochrome outdoor map. Two reasons for this: 1. I want to use it as a background to show the route of a race, so I can show the route as a coloured overlay and it will show up nicely. 2. I am colourblind and struggle if he difference between features is colour, so I want the difference to be line weight or pattern instead - I can imagine using this for a printed outdoor map for me to use. Have based it on Greg's work (because it is easier to start out simple so I understand what I am doing, and he has got the OS projection working nicely), adding in features as I realise I need them, plagiarising Andy's code when necessary (I will update the credits in the README) It is stored here if anyone is interested: https://github.com/jones139/gb-leisure-carto (mine are the style files with the '-mono' suffix - it is now so different to Greg's that I should maybe change its name, unless Greg would like a mono map too?) you can see what it looks like here: https://github.com/jones139/gb-leisure-carto/blob/master/gb-leisure-mono.png (this gives a scale of about 1:12500 when printed on A4. The style currently does the area I was interested in ok (although I am minded to make walls and hedges use a pattern rather than a simple line), but I am sure there are important features missing when I look at a different area, so it is a long way of finished. Thanks again for your help. Graham.
