Sorry to have to tell you but contrary to what you think the earth does not revolve round you.
Not half as silly as your response, how do you equate high ground with a high water table, please elaborate
Guilty, I should not have presumed it was cavity wall construction, for the benefit of the op if the walls are not cavity his first point of call should be to check the condition of the pointing in the vicinity of the dampness.
I suppose then that other suggestions made for remedial works in this post are incorrect or did others presume that the walls were solid?
For the record Softus you really must see somebody about your persecution complex, it does not become you
How do you make that out, I was responding to comments by the op and suggestions made by others to rectify his problemThat's just a crass stride in the direction of a hijack. If you want an argument then go and start your own topic and I'll see you in there. The gloves will be off, so to dull the pain your headguard will need to be packed with even more of your stupid prejudices.

Nonsense. The main problem with high ground is the attendant high water table. You are the one who's skating on thin factual ice here.The so called theory of external levels being 150mm below dpc level is that rain cannot splash back over the dpc.
You simply have no idea how silly that question sounds.It may sound a silly question but what the hell happens to driving rain at upper levels?

Is this a cavity wall? Has anyone said so? Have you asked? Is your advice being freely given without knowing all the facts? Are you a nothing more than a hypocrite?In any event if the cavities are clear the moisture will not gravitate to the internal leaf.
