@nefarious bit late, but on the gear chat from a few pages back IME you can get a lot cheap and/or second hand. Even helmets don't have to be expensive - just something from a know brand. I was very impressed with Shark and HSJ when I was looking, especially Shark.
The one thing I really, really would say to invest in are gloves. I've easily spent the cost of a decent pair of gloves buying a series of cheaper gloves. Go to a shop and buy one decent pair of leather gauntlet gloves that fit well. Add ebay silk glove liners to make them 3 season.
Budget £100. If you can spend less or get a deal, great, but plan to spend that sort of amount.
Further down the line you can look at some summer gloves or winter gloves.
