Doesn't look quite right for Small Tort but it's similar...my book doesn't have an exact match...

Hi Martin,
I think you'll find it is an emperor moth caterpillar... They start off red and black and then change to the usual green and black which is often shown in books. The long hairs and warty appearence give it away though.
