After a few weeks of intermittent practise I can now 100m + regularly.
But the thing that stops me now is tired legs - not loosing my
balance.

SIT !!!!

check while you are riding and see what is supporting your
weight....your seat or your legs......relax and take a seat

Is this down to technique and something I can expect to go away in
time or is there something fundamental that I'm doing wrong?

I cycle everday so my legs are working fine otherwise.

That's it! A common beginners thing is to put too much weight on the
pedals, so your feet are fighting each other. Consciously sitting,
i.e. putting weight in the seat, and more riding experience will cure
this. Success!

Thanks for the help folks.

I have learnt to freemount over the weekend, this has helped me to go
further afield and my technique is getting better. I am travelling
further, though stoll getting tired legs, I can feel a gradual
improvement.
