Cormaic (he of this list!) to the rescue:

http://www.pavingexpert.com/concmix1.html. First select your mix....

Looks to me like you will want nearly TWO tonne bags of ballast, and the

10
bags of cement. So, as Grunff would say a VERY long day. (In fact, I did

tow
tonne bags worth of strip filling in roughly 3 very very hard hours, on me
tod, running with the barra.)

1metre cubed of concretre wieghs approx 350 stone [1] which is approx 2.2
ton, using a 1:6 mixture would give 50 stone of cement (13 * 25kg bags) +
1.9ton of ag ( 2 dumpys)

[1] based on 10 stone per cubic foot
