You may find it's not that simple. Make sure you have it in writing what happens if they don't arrive on time.

have you tried barrett's at Carmarthen

 

[Derrick Hughes]

where are you

 

[PREES]

SA20 is Llandovery

Try A cowley and sons, worksop, might be able to help

 

[Cows 'n grass]

Your best bet will probably be going straight to Network Rail at Westbury. Glancing at a map Llandovery would be a similar distance from Westbury as Plymouth. I had 1000 in November and I think they were £6.50 each. I can dig out a number if you want one.

 

[PREES]

Yes please! Was that £6.50 delivered?

 

[Cows 'n grass]

Yes. I think they were £3.15 + delivery. Derv has fallen by nearly 20ppl since then so hopefully delivery will come down a bit now to. I'll dig out the number tonight.

Expensive tracks I'd say???

 

[Henarar]

Don't want highjack the thread but if anyone around this area [ Blackdown hills,somerset ] is getting some and want to share a load I could do with a few
Or if someone had a few not to far away that they want to sell ?

 

[Barleycorn]

Expensive tracks I'd say???

Maybe, but if you want to move a track its simple, or they are saleable if you want to get rid of them in the future.

 

[Henarar]

cheaper than concrete and quicker

We use them for walls around the cows yard

Do you just put them on the surface or do yo pull the topsoil to one side?

 

[Cows 'n grass]

Straight on the ground, if they're going where cows have been walking on an unsurfaced track before then we'll run the powerharrow down it first to level it.

They may be expensive initially but they are truly zero maintenance. Stone tracks need work every year to keep them in good condition.

We started laying them nearly 10 years ago now and I think they're brilliant, I've lost track of how many we've put down now, I should think its somewhere around 12-15000.

I'm sure that we paid £1 each a few years back plus delivery. We put them down as a yard, but it wasn't very successful,

few years ago they were free just pay the transport

 

[glasshouse]

is a concrete track not cheaper?

We've had some stone tracks in for 9 years now, never done any maintenance to any of them, I think you need the right stuff.
