New shale


Recommended Posts

Now that the weather has been a little better and things are drying out nicely I am laying down some new shale for next weeks meeting.

This new material is a blend of clay and shale 70/20  20% being the clay content. This should change everything and get the racing lines back after a meeting or two to mix it up with the current surface.

I belive its the same red shale that swindon have been using for the last year?

We have the proper stuff mate, as Glyn will tell you, proper red shale binds better than anything else.

What is the current blend? Are you still using Breedon?
