Claim expenses for flight cancellation

Hi All
I was wondering if anyone knows whether it's possible or not to claim expenses for a cancelled Ryanair flight?
Basically I was flying from Krakow to London Stansted and my flight was cancelled which was down to either weather conditions or a fault with the plane.
I was told that all the flights were fully booked for at least 2 or 3 days so I ended up hanging about in the airport for 8 hours and managed to get on a flight from Krakow to Birmingham.
I was able to transfer my flight to Birmingham for free, however I then had to pay travel costs to get from Birmingham to London. I only had to pay around £60, but I'd like to know if it is possible to claim this back?
I noticed Ryanair have a Flight Disruption Claim Expenses form, however it looks like you can only claim expenses if you were booked on a Ryanair flight which was cancelled or delayed overnight and you were not provided with accommodation.
I can't insert the link to this form as the site won't let me.
Does anyone know of another form I can use or how I go about claiming compensation?
Thanks

I don't mean to be direct, but have you read anything at all on this forum? The MSE Article on what you can claim for? The FAQs that people have worked so hard to produce to help people in your situation? Any of the other posts?
This forum is not a personal research service. If you can't be @rsed to do the legwork, why would you expect help from others?0
