Protecting the sub base if it rains?

I'm hoping to get as much of my paving layed over the long weekend as I can, but at 23 square metres I might be pushing it.

If I only get the sub base layed is there anyway I can protect it from the elements? Knowing the weather at the moment I'll get a couple of dry days followed by a week of rain, which I'm sure won't do the sub base much good.

Many thanks

Don't worry once the stone is down and compacted a drop of rain won't hurt it.

my exposed sub base has stood up perfectly fine to a couple of heavy storms of the last two days
