Anyone already doing it that has their experience to share? If so, can you comment on what type of cable you're using and what length of cable run etc?
I've done some research into this and have gathered info from various other forums, i.e.:
- always fully unwind/unroll the lead
- ensure its IP rated for outdoor use
- ensure its atleast 13A rated
- single socket extension only
- ideally use a plug-in RCD device at the end the extension plugs into (home side)
- check for heating of the plug/cable
- check for loose pins / fuse

If you do all the steps you have listed there is no issue as long as all plug and socket connections are protected from the weather...
