follow up report
arse not to sore this morning and pain free tonight so think it was not being used to a much narrower seat

The problem is your saddle angle. It should be flat front to rear or tilted up at the nose but by no more than a couple of degrees, so that your sit bones are cupped by the saddle. This adjustment won't work though unless you've got the saddle height right and the position fore and aft on the rails.

Post another pic of the bike on here, but preferably taken from the same height, full landscape frame, so that we can see the setup and advise you. Even better, the same photo with you sitting on it, leaning against a wall.

Look at the photos here of bikes against plain walls: http://cyclingtips.com/2015/11/how-to-take-good-photos-of-your-bike/

have tilted it further forward
it was tilted forward to sart with when i collected the bike and moved it backwards
was hurting 1st time out so i moved it as I felt like i was sliding forward off the seat .that plus not been on a bike for nearly 2 yrs due to illness

The saddle looks too flat to cup anything. I've ranted before about the modern fashion for mushroomoid non-saddle-shaped platform saddles that encourage people to fall off or stress out bracing themselves... but @daddypaul3 thinks it's "all sorted now" so best wait and see.
