avoid falling into a stream!
We're buying a new house which has a drive around 100ft long which has a steep gradient down to a stream, over a bridge and up to the road. Its currently tarmac-ed but in very poor shape.
Block paving looks very nice but is pricey and generally made from concrete, cobbles would be nice looking but pretty much lethal when wet. I have looked at various matting style solutions that are then infilled with gravel or turf but I'm very concerned about cycling over them on 700x23 road tyres.
Did look at various sustainable sites, but none of the options look much fun to cycle over on road tyres.
Any ideas?
P. S. didn't know if this went in commuting or know how, so gave up and went with cafe...
