Hi Mike , thanks for the quick response (I feel very honoured).
Loving the smiley face at the (hopefully) unlikely prospect of a strip down!
Scout's honour on the reasonable resistance. When I was turning the screws it was literally, turn, click, turn, click turn... oh it won't turn anymore and this was for both sides, so they've both experienced the same minimal force.
Oddly, the left screw did seem to go down a greater distance for each turn though.
The bike was riding fine, as was, except for the aforementioned bounciness, though of course, previously the screws were at the same height (although in theory, they mav have been receiving uneven amounts of damping)...hmm
Your response has at least given me the confidence to do a gentle ride out and test the water.
It's odd also that the number of clicks it took to get to maximum damping was way in excess of the 17 outlined in the owner's manual. Do they factor in a bit breathing space for the inept? (whoever they may be) :o
Finally, do you know of an easy way to check if both forks are experiencing the same level of damping and would it be obvious out on the road?
p.s.
McYoungy, as my name suggests, that may not be an option. Too many things to go ping, boing, crack and drip.

The fact that you can, doesn't always mean you should.
