Genius, Ian!
Even easier is to lay a ‘pull wire’ inside the pipe as you’re laying it. This can be anything you don’t expect to decay away. You can then hook your cables to it and pull through – ideally with another length for future upgrades.
50mm is a good plan by the way Gavin – I just about managed with 25mm pipe, but fibre optic network cables often come with chunky pre-terminated plugs much bigger than the actual cable, and very hard to DIY ‘crimp’.
Strongly recommend fibre networking to your shed – the cable is slightly more expensive, but the Ethernet converters surprisingly cheap, and they remove a fire risk from high voltages being induced in a long stretch of network cable outdoors.

I’m not an expert but as I understand it, that’s another good reason to go for fibre network – it can go in the same conduit as mains cable, whereas copper wire should not under wiring code.
Unfortunately, I’d already run my mains cable in a (pvc welded) conduit before I came to add the networking – I’d originally planned to use copper - so I ended up using a second 25mm conduit – but at least I could put 4 fibres down it which has helped set up a separate IoS network.
