Hi Doc H.
Both you and Guy are obviously right and if I don't have to dig the trench it becomes not a problem. I've used SWA several times in my work, in the past, and on every occasion I've had to have a trench dug, and that's what I wanted to avoid. I can buy 2.5mm 3-core SWA from a local wholesaler but thanks very much for the link - I have an account with Screwfix, so will look into them as well.
It really was/is the problem of digging the trench - that's why the previous owner took the easy way out. The problem is that to get to the shed at the top of the garden, the trench would need to be cut into a thick concrete base, go through a brick wall then cut into what is a thick layer of rubble and broken bricks, go around a large tree and its roots, and, finally, through an even thicker concrete base on which the large shed (12 ft x 8 ft) stands. On the other hand, the fence is in a direct line between both sheds.
If I can, legally, run the SWA above ground it becomes a much easier problem to solve - sorry about my ignorance!
Thanks again.
John

There are major problems with digging this trench (see my other posts) but thanks for the suggestion! Suddenly, however, a kettle and beer fridge sound more important than the drill and jigsaw! If, as Doc H seems to have suggetsed, I can run the SWA above ground, then I have no problems.
