Regarding Doug's advice about running cables inside some form of conduit.
My worry with this is the strong possibility (with the wet UKs weather at
least!), of the conduit becoming permanently flooded with rainwater by
ingress at the entry/exit points or joints/cracks etc.
That wouldn't seem very desirable on the face of it. But is it really a
potential problem and if so what are the Group's thoughts on preventative
measures please?
Thanks
Dave
