    William,

    Bark chippings will break down and rot, have you considered shingle of some kind, as this won't cost too much either.

    Pea gravel isn't such as good idea because it's round it never really settles and it's always moving about under your feet.Bark chippings will rot but you could use them while saving upfor stone,it's much cheaper if you buy it by the half ton from a builders merchant than it is in bags from the garden centre.
