I only actually need to intersect a great circle arc i.e. the shortest path between two points, with a given small circle.
I found this tutorial for intersecting two great circle arcs, but unfortunately it doesn't cover small circles.
Answer
Here is a full algebraic solution for two arbitrary small circles, using Cartesian coordinates to simplify the maths.
It's assumed the earth is a spherical, but that's fine for my purposes.
