I have seen a whole new side to Miss Dove today....
...and that won't help you get any work done at all Mr Toast!!
The sprinkler Busy-Lizzie mentions is the type I was talking about - mine is a Hozelok - but they're probably much the same. I have found that mine will cover an area nearly 20m by 10m when it's on full. And, as BL says, it is a nice rectangle so no dry corners.
The main reason I suggested it is simply because I get VERY bored watering by hand - especially if it has to be done for several weeks - a sprinkler just makes life a bit easier.
Still, NW England - nearly the end of summer - if it's gonna rain anywhere it's likely to be there! Hope you get the rain you need (your neighbours won't be too pleased with your rain dancing though - being a bank holiday!)

I have 5KG of seed, I need about 3.6KG for the area so will have some left, recommended is 35g per sqm.
My attempt at dog/child proofing the area
Shall I come and help?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Lol, I do not need any help but if you want to come around with you're whip I wont complain.
Mr T ...
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I like the bar sprinkler made by Gardena. They will cover a nice square or rectangle. I have found the round ones rather impractical.

Thanks for the advice guys, the deed is done, no not dove, I have now seeded the lawn, now it is a question of waiting to see what happens.
any ideas on how to dispose of 1 tonne of topsoil?
You could dig a big hole and bury it
