I'd like to put in a small path approx 7m long connecting to a patio at the back of my garden. Rather than make it straight I'd prefer a gentle S curve. I have some spare tumbled block pavers 160mm x 120mm in dimension that i could use. Anyone have suggestions on the best way to do it. I'd like the pavers laid in a stretcher bond pattern following the s curve.

I'm trying to achieve something like the below. I've been on paving expert and none the wiser. Can i compact mot type 1 and lay them on a bed of mortar with a soldier coarse on the sides haunched in concrete?

Yes

Best way to set the curved line is a hosepipe IME

Thanks I'm going to be setting out at the weekend so will try that out. What should i point with? I don't mind pointing with cement and building sand, I'm not sure if polymeric sand will be up to the job
