As per ChrisK's post above - visa obtained from Sudanese Embassy in Cairo on 24th February within 28 hours, passport dropped off at 9am and picked up the following day at 2pm and paid for in local currency with a bit of wrangling, although we are doing a trip for charity and played this card fairly early on.
1. Application form from main desk
2. Complete, photocopy in triplicate from shop 100m down the road
3. Submit all four forms with four passport photographs along with letter from Embassy (or letter from embassy stating that a recommendation is not possible - UK Embassy)
4. Return following day, pay and pick up passport with no expense spared hologram visa and leave wearing winning smile.
