power in shed

your summary seems correct to me. Boths sheds are securely fastened to the ground. The sheds have a 6 inch gap between them. I realise the cable would need to be protected. My questions would really be:
How should the cable be protected?
How do I run the cables, in terms of connections etc in existing shed?

For a 6" gap it really isn't worth going to the hassle of armoured cable - use some black PVC conduit.

How do I run the cables, in terms of connections etc in existing shed?
In exactly the same way as you would normally do so - do you know how socket circuits, and lighting circuits etc work? If not, you should look at the posts in the For Reference topic, and also go here: http://www.diydick.com/site-main-button-index-pages/electrical-menu-frame.htm .
You do need to think about mechanical protection in sheds - where and how does the existing wiring run? Is it in conduit or trunking?
 
Not too hot on the knowledge of circuits. but would I right in thinking that I that I can create my own lighting and socket circuits from the existing fuse box that I have in the shed? I was planning to use conduit to protect the cables.

I have looked at the web links that you listed and can see the lighting circuit stuff and socket ring mains so I am sure I can follow it all.
