I would advocate joining PPL/IR, it will be the best £95 you have ever spent on instrument flying. Further, there are two documents worth downloading.
The first document is the recently updated "PBN Manual". There is a huge amount of information in there. My advice would be to look at the PBN Learning Objectives (LOs) in Appendix 2 first. These LOs are set out in AMC to EASA Part-FCL (Amendment 4, 08/02/2018). Each of the LOs listed in the PBN Manual Appendix 2 is given a page number reference in the main PBN Manual. The rest of the information is more detailed and excellent so worth a read. IR holders should also read CAA Information Notice IN-2017/034 as it contains the information needed for adding PBN to your rating by the declaration at Appendix 1 which needs to be done by 25 August 2018 if you want to continue flying PBN ATS routes and procedures.
On the broader topic of instrument flying again PPL/IR provide an excellent text called "European Instrument Flying Qualifications", again free of charge to download but worth joining anyway. In the main this text is related to IMC/IR(R), EIR and CB-IR (although it is termed CBM IR). I am not connected to PPL/IR other than being a member, I am an independent IRI who teaches IMC/IR(R) and CB-IR preparation.
Unfortunately, I cannot post the URLs as I am new to PPRUNE (well returning after 20 years!) and haven't posted the requisite 10 posts before being allowed to post URLs, just Google the titles and you'll find them.
