any good tutorials or guides out there I could study in the next week?!
Here's a good demo from Joe Peake https://www.instagram.com/p/BZbZQjLBxCq/?taken-by=joepeake0
I still haven't nailed this though, been 'racing' for years! What an idiot. You can use the 'step on the pedal' method too.

Start off slow. Find a log you can ride at over and over again till you can do it properly. It'll take time and all feel a bit alien at first. Get the motions right and build up the speed slowly. It'll be difficult to correct issues further down the line if you start with bad technique and ultimately you'll be slower.

Key thing to remember with remounts is to push your bike as far forward as you can before you leave the ground. Like you're trying to touch your chest to the saddle. Then your knee is going behind the saddle and around, rather than over the top. As a result, you don't need to jump nearly as high.

Having never raced a bicycle, I've decided I'd like to give cross a go - I've got a bike to borrow, and hope I don't get in peoples way too much at Herne Hill.
I tested the concept out last night, and it turns out bunny hopping a CX bike is significantly more difficult than an MTB. Dismounting and Running seems reasonably straightforward... but remounting without total annihilation of future children less so... any good tutorials or guides out there I could study in the next week?! Anything thing I can to mitigate annoying those with loftier goals on course?
