!?!?!?

I used insert image button, pasted the image urls, it worked fine until I posted. I will try again!

sorted... so what do you think chaps... It runs very nicely... but i do feel a bit like I have run a dual carriage way through the garden!

Some plants, a station and something to encourage the moss etc will help.

Well done ! You've put a lot of work in there.

It looks like you have got all the clearance you could need.
The dual carraigeway look will probably soften, as Paul said, but
if it dosent, why not try a darker coloured stone along the edges.
