I've checked the small supply of resistors that I have against an online chart, but can't understand which end of the resistor to start at!
Chris the Gold band signifies the resistors tolerance and is at the end of the number chain, so hence you read the values starting from the opposite end.
Green, blue, brown = 560 ohm
