Wow, those pressures are a lot lower than I would have used... I'll pack the pressure gauge next time...
Thanks for helping me through this, I guess I knew the answers but not the right questions to ask myself in the first place to get to the answers...
I was a bit down about my off at first, mainly as I didn't know why it happened, now I do I can't wait to get out and practice
Bullet - might see you at a School soon!
Thanks everyone for replying or just for reading this thread - nice to know you're all here!

Ok, normal track pressures we'd reccomend would be around 31F, 30R, which are a good rule of thumb. If you'd done a good few laps, they would have come up very high at 41rear, (think a bit like a balloon), and your contact patch is greatly reduced for sure.
so just for clarity, try and stabilise the bike when you're bike is on it's line, by applying throttle rule No.1. Anything less than, i.e. too hot in, too hard an application is less than optimum, and relies pretty much solely on tyre grip and suspension at one end more than another.
Hope this makes it clear for you now. Understand it, modify your riding behaviour and get back on it (your bike), practising correct application. Oh, and dont' worry, we've all done this, I did it last year on my race bike on slicks. too much lean angle in to hot, to hard an initial throttle on an off camber turn, result, me on my arse.
