@ewanmac: do you have spoke key with you? to get you home just get roughly true side-to-side to stop it rubbing on the wheel, sort the finer details later.
imagine looking from the nipple end of the spokes towards the hub, turn clockwise to tighten, anti-clockwise to loosen. find the patch that rubs worst, loosen the spoke closest to that point, on the side it leans towards. tighten the closest spoke on the side it leans away from. don't go crazy, maybe do half turns to those, then quarter turns on the next ones further out. check repeat.
