Rob settle down, remember the words in bold print on the front of "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy", "DON'T PANIC".
I don't know what research would lead you to using the pointers to star drift align your eq mount. They are to far south.
Use a star as low as you can see in the east and then a convenient star at the meridian, "that would be overhead". It is not hard AND GETS EASIER THE MORE OFTEN YOU DO IT.
Again, YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE THE REGION OF THE POLE TO POLAR ALIGN.
Sounds like you have absolutely no idea about how to do this. I know, initially it can seem insurmountable, but it is not.
Seek out your nearest astro group, club or society and I am sure you will find someone to walk you through this mini crisis.
Cheers
Trevor
