    I'm thinking of using those 1:3 Pre-Mixed Cement & Sand Bags and mixing them with gravel to give a 1 : 3 : 3 mix.

    Would the commonly available 1 tonne bag of quartz based granite be suitable or is it more for decorative use ?

    No access for anything big.

    get a1 ton bag of builders gravel and 6 or 7 25 kg bags of cement, 3:1 is way too strong.

    Many thanks,

    No sand
    1 ton builders gravel and 150 / 175 kg cement

    Gravel to Cement ratio of 6:1 maybe ?

    Lets see what others say, maybe 8 with a proper plasticiser to make it easier to compact.
    My late father, back in the early sixties when money was tight, would go out as far as 24:1...the floors were dusty but held up
