Hmm I spend about 1500 on gravel and stone to do up a 250m length of roadway last year, managed to borrow a friends minidigger and drove that myself for the week. I thought I'd escape with just binding also, but once I started clearning it off I knew I'd have to put in more stone in places. that 250m cost me 6e/m, add in say 500quid "labour" charge, and diesel, and you're up to 8e/m. Doesn't be long adding up I'll admit, but of the one spend all year its probably been the most useful, less lameness, and way quicker to bring the cows up.

ye the stones are a bit rough on the cows alright but a hoof pairer has never been in this yard yet. My longest walk is half a kilometer and it does take more than 25 min to bring cows up

I wasn't in the indo, no. I'm a master of the dark arts, so I'll never be seen. You'll just see my minions at work. The pic had the 4 Hurley brothers together.
Eamonn Sweeney was the writer of that article, he's a man from your county that came on holidays to the Castlehaven area 10 years ago and never left.
