Hi there, We are located just below Holman's test mine in Troon, Cornwall; we are on the same road, the first left after the mine's path. The chips would be used for our paths and gardens located on the farm. HGV's come and go from the mine multiple times a day with no problems in regards to the road. I've drawn where the general drop would be best to go however it is just a rough guideline and it can go a lot further back than the photos show. The only requirement is that it doesn't block the path on the left or the gate that is to the right that couldn't fit in the picture.
