I am pretty sure this is correct, but would appreciate comment, there were also lots of a.phalloides and a.pantherina growing very close by.   
Thanks Stewart |

The brown network (rather than white) suggests Tylopilus felleus to me Stu. A quick taste would confirm this (you'll want to spit it out once tasted!).
Also, Boletus edulis has a characteristic white edge to the cap margin - your photos don't show this feature either.

I would agree that it does not look right for B.edulis. The stipe is also not the typical short squat with a thick base of B.edulis and the cap colour is not quite right.

Peter | This looks closer to being a Cep to me rather than a Tylopilus, maybe B. reticulatus? A quick nibble and spit would soon tell you whether you have Tylopilus.

It tastes ok, certainly not bitter. |

Certainly not Tylopilus then 
P.S - Upload some pics of the Pantherina- we need more piccies of it in the Gallery! (and I'd like to see it  ) |

Thanks everyone, so it seems I have discovered an otherwise unknown species, does that mean I get to name it?
PS. Nick, I will get up there tomorrow with my camera.... |

Stew,
I find these more straight stemmed with slightly darker reticulation too, amongst the more "typical" looking type with clearly white reticulation. 
You can see some variation here with some i collected last year. Top 2nd left was similar to yours. I find the stem flesh very fibrous on ones like this and tend to slice, dry and grind to make a sprinkle for winter dishes.
