Hello could anyone help me on some guttering design. I have attached an image: (1) Do you agree that its best to run this gutter away from the valley? (a) If i run away from the valley should I drop onto the sloped roof below or take the downpipe all the way to the gulley pot? (b) or should I run towards the valley then I dont need any downpipes?

There seem to be an array of novelty chains for this purpose - however I'm picturing a plain 6 or 8mm thick stainless or black chain coming down from the front corner, but am wondering how this would terminate in to soil pipe. Has anyone got any experience of this? I'm can't think that there will ever be a lot of water in any case. Current setup...
