Cleaning block paving is a fairly straightforward task, although you’ll want to be careful to not use any chemicals that may cause damage to the surface. Use a simple household soap, mixed with water, and brush this across the paving with a stiff brush. Then, simply rinse off with clean water. Alternatively, use a pressure washer – but be careful not to use it on a powerful setting, as this may damage the joints and can cause slabs to come loose. Using the pressure washer on a medium setting and at a 45 degree angle is recommended.
Berriedale
Berriedale is a tiny estate town on the northern eastern shore of Caithness, Scotland, on the A9 roadway between Helmsdale as well as Lybster, close to the boundary between Caithness and Sutherland. It is protected from the North Sea. The town has a parish church in the Church of Scotland. Just southern of Berriedale, on the way to the north, the A9 passes the Berriedale Braes, a steep drop in the landscape (brae is a Scots word for hillside, a loaning of the Scottish Gaelic bràighe). The roadway drops down outstanding (13% over 1,3 kilometres) to link a river, prior to increasing once again (13% over 1,3 kilometres), with a number of sharp bends in the road-- although some of the barrette bends and also various other neighboring slopes have been relieved over the last few years. The impracticality (as well as cost) of linking the Berriedale Braes prevented the structure of the Inverness-Wick Far North Line along the east coastline of Caithness; instead the train runs inland via the Flow Country. Berriedale is located at the end of the eighth stage of the coastal John o' Groats Trail.
