Or you could go to Tesco and buy a bag of Doves Farm "Speciality Rye Flour"
(stoneground whole rye) and start your own starter like wot I do.
No doubt other suppliers flours would work, but that was the first one that
I tried and followed (more or less) Samartha's method here :-

and it works first time every time for me
