check that there is no small bit of debris in cap.recheck tyre pressure and correct if required and leave cap off for a while and recheck pressure, maybe valve core requires retightening up.

Is there any grit in the valve or cap Chris ?, could be pushing down on the top of the valve.
If you have a tyre cap with the groove in the top you can use that to tighten down the valve.
After getting the tyre back to correct pressure
put some soapy water (or spittle) on the valve ,if it is not bubbling up I would be inclined to leave the valve cap off.
Safe trip home.

i had a badly seated valve on the rim after having a new tyre fitted....had to take to a nearby fitter and have a new valve put in. took him 10 mins.
it could be that the inner part of the valve is lose as steve mentions, but you need a special tool to tighten it....are there any keen cyclists nearby as they may have the required tool.
is there any way you can take it off and visit a local tyre fitter. A couple of beer tokens might fix it.

you can use a pair of tweezers or long nosed pliers to tighten valve inners. not unusual for them to be a bit loose especially with high pressures
