  Have you thought about reclaimed setts. To cover the area you quote would probably be in the region of £700 (plus sand and cement)

  Now that the issue of my whacky use of the gravel calculator has been resolved, the gravel is only going to cost £327 so I'm able to stick with my original plan. Reclaimed setts would look really great as a path through the gravel but that's definitely not something we could do ourselves.

  @februarysgirl, why don't you just put any left-over gravel on top of the paving slabs - far less effort!

  Have you any idea how lethal that is?

  Agreed @Fairygirl.
  
  Gravel on paving can be very slippery - think Charlie Chaplin and marbles...
