Pray that it doesn't rain. Seriously check the fuses, otherwise you might be into needing diagnostics. Nothing is simple on the L322.

Should be easy for Southport. I predict grey and overcast with a chance of rain.

It's L322 long-range weather forecasting. No need for wipers for the foreseeable future. God those cars are so clever.
If the fuses are good and the relays too, is the stalk-switch bust?
What if you put 12V on the motor directly?

There are about 20 pages just on wipers alone in the 3 Rave manuals, I would start with the fuses as already mentioned shown on the attached, if you would like a lesson on basic manners then my advice for that is also free.
Failing that, you could test the voltage supply to the motor but as it is all controlled via the BCU then diagnostics should give you an idea of what is going on.
I would remove the fuses to test as this may also reset the wiper system.
Do the washers work and rear wash wipe?

Our previous L322 would have issues with the wipers all of sudden stop working if left in the continuous setting while raining - turned out to be the wiper relay sticking.....

You really do need one with a Rangie, as it costs an arm and a leg getting dealers to do it.

I guess google doesn't work where you are?
Does this help?
- for reasons best known to some Land Rover or BMW Design Engineer, the front wiper relays are not put with all the other relays and fuses in the waterproof box of electronics in the engine compartment. It would be so much easier if they were. They're up against the bulkhead, behind the battery and the only way to get at them is to remove the battery first, then remove a plastic cover to even see them. Once the cover is off, it all should be reasonably obvious.
