Gordon,
Thank you for this detailed plan - I like it very much
I'm afraid I don't have accurate measurements of the farm - just guessing at the moment
I think I am ok for farm things - I have most of the farm sets, with lots of tractors, trailers, impliments etc
The gymcana base mat measures 4ftx2ft, so that can go portrait to the front, with a farm lane running parallel to the right of it leading from the road at the bottom to the top of the paddock where the gate is.
The farm yard can then go parallel to the right of the farm lane, with the entrance to the yard from the bottom right corner of the lane (diagonally opposite as it were to the paddock entrance at the other end of the lane), and perhaps the farm house horizontal to the road, and the farm yard behind it, accessed by the gate.
The farm yard would be, say, 3 - 3.5ft wide
I could then have the space at the back of the farm yard (it wouldn't be as long in depth as the paddock) as another fieldy area for car parking/storage (Got to have a bit of a farm dump there!
) accessed by a gate directly opposite to that of the gymcanna paddock.
The farm lane can then either bear left or right (or both) and/or continue under your proposed (bridge?)
I'm expecting the farm lanes to be approx. 6" wide, and so the remaining foot or so can be taken up with some fields with cows or somewhat in.
Basically 4 blocks of land of different sizes, inter-connected by farm lanes in places
If any of that makes any sense at all!
