To answer my own question in case it helps someone in future

Cygwin has cert files, but for some reason the gnutls-trustfiles paths
do not correctly map to the windows path. I'm guessing that in emacs the
paths would work ok because I use cygmount but when the paths get handed
to gnutls, they don't get translated?

anyway, the solution was to set gnuttls-trustfiles to
("C:/cygwin/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt"
"C:/cygwin/usr/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt")
