Default Is it OK to put standard "twin & earth" cable directly into the cavity of a dwarf wall?

Last night, I ran the cables for my ring main into the cavity of the
dwarf wall in my conservatory (before the plastic went on).. Should I
do anything to protect the cable, as it seems a little 'exposed'.

I was recently reading about problems with "damp" when the cavity is
breached.. When looking at the 'bat ties' which run between the
cavity, I noticed that they have little kinks the shaft, to prevent
water from running down them.

Because the cable is obviously not 100% straight, it touches both of
the walls at various points.. Could this be a source of damp?

I will be putting some insulation into the cavity, but should be doing
anything else to protect the cables?

Any info on this would be apprecaited

Jon
