Thought as much!When I looked into it, its cheaper to pour ready mix.
We exchanged on Friday, as well as clear Tb test, so safe to blab about it now!
Were near 12 quid down here.
That farm will have perfect track laying stone. Good luck and well done on your test

Sleepers are silly money, at the price that are now they only have a place on rented ground where a mid tier scheme pays the bulk of the cost.
How far are you moving?

A lot depends On how close you are to the railway Depots as haulage can kill it. The majority are sold on tenders I think although I did see a fair pile at Totnes the other day.

The one with huge slatted cubicle sheds?
Whatever you've bought at least you're on the right coast now, it's much nicer down south.

got a supply of stone, on farm ? All we do, remove topsoil, 12 ins stone, and get a contractor, who has a 'machine that grinds it down', cannot think what you would call it, but it does a fantastic job, £6 a linear meter, and they have a wacker plate, behind a tractor. We did 660 meters, with the £10,000 grant. One massive problem, didn't do enough, that will alter. Tracks, either stone, or astro turf, transformed our grazing.

Yes, that one. And yes, getting out of the incessant wind on the north coast was actually quite a large reason for moving! Although we will need to use a hedge trimmer now as more than grass actually grows on the hedges down there!

That is probably what we will do, can let me know who you used, either here or in a pm please?

several do it, but get several quotes, prices vary considerably, Creeds at yeovil, 01935862363, probably to far, for you, but seriously helpful, would have saved a fair bit, on preparation, if we had spoken earlier. We did a pukka job, topsoil, and ditch, some parts of the ditch, got included in the track ! A friend is a confident slew driver, so hired one, for 2 weeks, and 'sorted' a lot of 'odds' as well.

Well done. It looks a great unit.
Are you going to pit a underpass under the main road to get to the other block of land? We had a look but was to small for us but it was a good farm.
Might be a main road but probably not that busy!!
