Running fr me but its starting to hurt and takes a day between to recover. Im of the opinion if I stop i'll never start again. Brought a Garmin Fenix watch, tells u ur steps, VO2 Max etc...certainly a motivator. Also as Khriss says, its all pointless if u dont watch the calories👍 -
Cheers Dumper, that looks good stuff, will give that a go[emoji106]

Cheers Kev I got me a drum for cleaning all me cider making kit down. Does it need to be neaters to work on moss?
-
Cheers Toad, its actually not too bad, it dries off pretty good and im in Cornwall so doesn't get too cold that often. I Like the micro asphalt advice. I don't wanna spend a fortune on the drive though, is it a pricy job?
-
Cheers Bob, appreciate the advice. Its the main approach into the property so I want it looking good. I'll get on it with the press washer and cold patch the holes. Have u any idea what top dressing is likely to cost? 100m x 3m?
-
Cheers Eggs, any idea on costs, overlay vs tar and chippings? Craig

Heres photos of damage

Just a follow-on from my original post. I have about 100m x 3m of tarmac drive that is starting to show some damage/wear/small potholes, I want to get it sorted asap to prevent further degrading. What are the options to repair? Can I get a thin top coat of asphalt applied or fill potholes and top dress with tar and chipping? And any ideas on price to do either? I'll UL some pics later Thx in advance

My brother in law took some great pics of similar Ice hair last week. He’s near Inverness.

I find them a comfortable boot though they took some breaking in, particularly at the heel. They come up a little large, and they ain’t the lightest boot but they are certainly comfortable, waterproof and give great ankle support. TBH I’m not one for buying footwear by mail order...been caught out too much! The guy in R&T said comparing them with the Yukon’s was like night and day.

I went to Radmore and Tucker to buy a pair of Yukon’s and came away with a pair of Treehog Extreme. Not a lot more money but felt like a better boot/fit Treehog Extreme Waterproof Chainsaw Boots Class 2 WWW.RADMORETUCKER.CO.UK

I have a grenadier stove heater which I had to use regularly in our last house. Great bit of kit

Any reviews on the Makita DUC305Z? Looking at a 12” battery option ([emoji15]) and already running Makita tools. VMT Craig

Had PF for 12 months. I have found I have to do calf stretches otherwise it flares up again. Also rolling a frozen bottle of water under foot. It’s a debilitating bitch of an issue!

It’s in The Guardian ffs....the only thing that rag is good for is lighting your stove[emoji106] -

Another thumbs up for Woodwarm[emoji106]

Get a Woodwarm[emoji6]

Yep that's also an issue in this case? I guess as long as the track has enough camber to shed the water and there is scope for to to soak away into surrounding fields (already wet ground!). The existing track doesn't hold water but it just doesn't run off that quickly hence the filled potholes just get washed out.
-
I get your point Les but as Kev alluded to, the days of getting them cheap are long gone, also availability in the SW is difficult, with many of the aggregate suppliers buying it up by the job lot. But its certainly worth thinking about as an option?
-
Thx for this, so given the base is good solid stone i could reduce to 15mm i guess?
-
They would rise again....They're from Par?!
-
Is there an environmental option.... green concrete? ? I guess I could have a quiet chat (blood is biodegradable right?)with the selfish tw@s that have moved into the land at the end of the lane and established a fookin animal sanctuary (planning applications to follow no doubt!)...90% increase in traffic?
-
Well I guess that would kill that option then ?
-
Thx Kev, the lane is actually owned by my neighbour, he asked if I had any idea what it will cost to tarmac. The issue is it's the only access to 3 x properties, and the general consensus was that tarmac would be pretty much immediate light use after rolling. Bob....The sleepers look good, however as the lane is already cut and stoned I'm (initially) thinking tarmac would be the easier option. Any ideas on costs for concrete over tarmac.. that will be the driver i guess? I had it graded with a 14T swinger earlier in the year but predictably this weather is starting to take effect and potholes appearing. Neighbour has brought a box grader which helps, BUT i think its just putting of the inevitable fact that its gonna need sorting properly soon. Cheers Craig

More the former Khriss, not a great deal of heavy agricultural use but plenty light stuff and horse lorries (not mine!!)
