Im not to network savy, But you can try something like this also.

Your PC ---> your router ---> 70m lan cable ----> your friends PC

or

Friends pc ---> Friends router ---> 70m lan cable --- your PC

This is just another idea, it isn't to say your way won't work, I'm kinda interested to know if your way will work. The way I suggested, you would be tied down to you using his internet or your friend using your internet if you want to watch or listen to youtube or something.
