I have overthought and overcomplicated it - Turns out that I should probably have been using the "Fill" tool - Duh + Facepalm. Dont worry, Inkscape requires a bit of a learning curve. Lots of things work with "tricks" and you just have to know how it works. When it comes to cart...

Hey, thanks a lot for taking the time to do the drawing and explaining it so patiently

As a third option which wou...
