Not enough detail to be certain, Nige, but my first thoughts would be for a female Leiobunum.
There are two versions to choose between but you need a close shot of the ocularium. |

OK thanks Geoff.
Seeing as it was taken 150miles away I don't think I'll be popping back to get anymore shots

You should have plenty where you live anyway. They are quite common at this time of the year particularly in damp and shady areas with plenty of foliage to run underneath as soon as they see a camera approaching.  |

I think this is likely to be Opilio canestrinii, judging by the bulging coxa and lack of clearly defined saddle ... |
