So, just fitted a PIR in the bathroom, threw the trip switch back on and the lights in the bathroom constantly flash on and off. I have turned the trip switch off again. Have i wired it up wrong or is this the set up mode?

Flash on and off by activation or when you are not in there ?

Why have you installed a PIR in the bathroom - do you have a shower with a curtain ? What happens when the lights go out when you're in the shower ?
 
Flash on and off as soon as i put the trip switch back on. Have 1 in the bathroom as the pull cord keeps waking my daughter up. Have a proper sealed PIR suitable for bathrooms

Yes, ones I recently installed flash on/off when CB is switched on. If you have the instructions it may mention it it in there.

Turned the trip back on and let the lights flash on and off for 30 seconds> Flashing has stopped but lights will not come on

Flashing for 30 seconds doesn't sound right to me, the ones I installed just 'blinked' for a second or two. Have you adjusted the Lux level dial on the unit? I would also check you connections and supply voltage.
