We're going to seal them to keep them black.
If they are natural stone apparently this is not a good idea - but I'm sure @ColinTheBald might know about these things
TheButchersDog-
Black lime.
I've done a bit of reading on products. It's only foot traffic.
Ideally we would have bought slate, but the price difference was pretty big even if it had been available. This was £26.15p\m².

Cheers. I'm pretty pleased. We're going to seal them to keep them black, otherwise they'll be a bit grey.
In case anyone is weighing up larger vs smaller slabs - one thing we had never considered is that a larger slab gives less flexibility in terms of any cut outs.
One of the breaking points for the bay was that it sat so the slab cuts would be ⅔ on one side, ¼ on the other and then a whole slab on another. We've lucked out with the top bed being bang on, but it may not have been.
