It's easy enough if you take your time, allbeit hard hard.

You will need to remove the top soil, then compact hard core (scalpings) to get a hard base.

After that its a question of 50mm ish of sand mixed with a very weak cement and laying the blocks as required, and finally wacking them dowm with a rubber soled wacker plate hired from the local tool hire shop
