Macro gear?

Hello all,

Just to pick your collective brains Up until now I have only ever had a bridge camera (Panasonic FZ50) so I have very little clue about lenses and whatnot.

Anyhow, I am going to be doing fieldwork and I have a (somewhat limited) budget for a DSLR macro setup.

Basically, I was wondering what people's opinions would be on a reasonable macro setup for somewhere between £500-£800? I would be needing the camera body, stand, macro lens and macro flash. Second hand is fine! Also not bothered about having a 'standard' lens as it would be used purely for macro work.
I have already been looking around but am most confused about what would be adequate for my needs! I'm not so good with understanding specs

Thanks
