 Path before work - worn down by weather and motorbikes

 Stone pitching 1 - A hole is dug (easier said than done in stony ground)
|
 Stone pitching 2 - Hole is filled with stones with as few gaps as possible ("horizontal drystone walling")
|
 Stone pitching 3 - Gaps between the stones and filled with grit and soil
|
 Stone pitching 4 - Top of the gaps is packed with soil to hold it all in place
|
