I am in the last stages of getting dome more images ready for the
IR Gallery, which Cor will hopefully be able to upload soon after.
Although most are in B+W again, I will be adding a few colour
IR images that I took on honeymoon (4 I think).  I will let the group
know when they are added.

Is this for B+W or Colour?  Let me know and I can send you very rough
ideas for each.

But in short for B+W load in total darkness, with a red
filter over your lens set the meter in the camera to 640asa and shoot,
bracketing 1 stop either side for each photo.  Process in HC110 dilution B
for 8 mins and that's it.

For colour load the camera out of direct light,
place a yellow filter over the lens and rate the film at 320 asa, bracketing
1 stop either side again.  Process in E6, making sure the lab switches off
any IR sensors they may have on their machines.

Hope that is simple enough ;-)
