Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, very much appreciated! Maybe I can trade photography knowledge for bike knowledge in London till I'm less a danger to myself ;)
mechanical_vandal: is your plan just to work just in the darkroom (essentially not bothering about scanning negatives?) It's a laudable goal, but there really isn't anything preventing you from doing several things at once. Developing C41 is a piece of cake for the most part. Printing C41 will obviously take years to properly master (like anything), but there's nothing stopping you shooting and having a bigger selection of negs to choose from when your printing skills are finally up to snuff.
A good enough scanner (Epson V500) and good film holders will 'only' set you back the uh, cost of a pair of Phil Wood hubs!
Also, because some others have mentioned her in this thread, there will be a hopefully very interesting Vivian Maier exhibition in Derby next month as part of the Format Festival. I would say it'd be definitely worthwhile popping down to a day to look at some of the work, some interesting artists there.
