    That looks like fun... mostly hedges in Wales but I'm sure I can find somewhere that needs a stone wall!
    cheers

    Matt, I bought 6 pieces of model stone walling in a second-hand shop in Sheringham and joined them together. main purpose was to stop loco's/stock diving off the edge!!:)

    Was it the model shop in Sheringham?

    We go that way a few times a year in our motorhome and have yet to find that shop open, either closed for lunch or gone fishing...

    If you have a quarry nearby try and see if they will let you have some fines. A large ice-cream tub goes miles. The fines from my local quarry contain small stones (less than 0.25 inch) along with crusher dust. Very useful and free.

    That's a good call Bittern and it reminded me of what's just down the road. . .

    Ill need to take a look at one of the scree slopes at the one near me which is used for scramble bikes

    I've been scanning the area and I think I've sorted it, no quarry here and the pet shop only has big bags of fish grit but ... there are petang bowls pitches (or whatever) so all I've got to do is buy some petangs challenge a local then every time I pick up my bowls scoop a handful up and into my pocket ... there sorted (my other 5/8ths can cause a diversion)

    Ah got you Matt... dig a tunnel and take it from underneath... I can see a problem there... I don't think she'll enjoy the digging what with nails and all

    No she's fine with a corkscrew but her measures... well that's another matter.
