I am planning on laying a patio path which drops about a foot in 25 feet. How can I do this accurately?Marking it in twine doesn't work due to sag etc. Any ideas? Thanks.

You can put pegs at equal distances and make sure the drop from the top of one peg to the next is the same each time. You can do this by placing a scrap of timber the right size on the top of the lower peg, and make sure your spirit level reads level when placed across the pegs.
 
That's exactly the kind of answer I wanted... a really simple yet brilliant solution. Thanks a lot!
