Hi again,
When we do that we lay two parallel pipes and thread a pull rope down one and back down the other. The rope is then tied in a continuous loop for loss-free pulling :)
We usually use 4" plastic pipe as it's not tight and should make pulling easy.
Cheers,
Paul.

Thanks for the replies. I did the cable-in-a-pipe thing once in the
past, but I wasn't convinced that the result would last, and it involved
a lot of hassle getting the wires down the pipe.
Maybe I'll reconsider wifi solutions.
cheers
