    I wouldn't put boards down anyway as they will be treacherous when wet. Gravel will just get swallowed up by the mud too. If you could a few concrete paving slabs 2ft x 2ft and lay them down in a rough path where you have to walk might keep you going until spring

    You could dump a load of 804 on it. It'll probably come in handy for the patio anyway.

    I'd be inclined to grin and bare it until next year when you intend doing a job on it.
    You're only spending money now better spent later.
    For example, it's far from ideal putting gravel on top of muck. You'd also need to be confident that you don't need to lower the level of the lawn. No use doing the job twice!. We use a few mats here in the hall and dry off the dogs as best we can.
    That's my take on it anyway!
