hi giles, you said you got range rover tyres on cabstar, the 1 prob with my cabstar is it gets stuck easy its because tyres set at 75 psi being single axle. i have got 2 spare wheels that i could use. i was thinking this weather i could swap the back 2.

the tow path at mo has gone back to first spec, dig out stone up, compact about 4''. been thinking best way of laying stone would be a barber green tarmac machine. does anyone know what i would expect to pay for mini pavior a day, how long it would take 600m 1.6 wide being filled by dumper.
breedon gravel worked out at about £60 per ton, i pay £15 for mot.
