Thanks Jon. There were several smaller, faster, ants around at the same time which I didn't manage to get any good pictures of. I have added a rather fuzzy photo of one of these in case it is the same species, although it doesn't have pale legs.

Thanks for the extra image Cath. I'm inclined to think the second ant is another species of Camponotus that just happened to be around. Cheers, Jon
