Sub base advice

Morning all.

I’m just after a bit of reassurance really.

I’ve dug out and put down a type 1 sub base for a new drive.

250mm dug out and a membrane put down before refilling and compacting the type 1 in layers.

We have had some heavy rain the last couple of days even though it feels solid under foot, the top has gone a bit mushy.

I’ve put a tarpaulin over it for now to stop us getting mud everywhere but wanted to check this wasn’t an issue.

It’s probably going to be left for a couple of months before been finished that’s all.

I’ve attached a couple of pics of the sub base before the rain came.

Cheers
