This is insane, who in there right mind would spend £500 for the privalige of hanging off the side of Gogarth for the night?

Bad weather is catered for with ledge covers to keep the rain off and help is always on hand with an experienced 'portaledger' on an adjourning ledge.

Can't say I fancy sleeping out on a portaledge in any location if there's a good chance it might adjourn  :o

My ledge is by far the most expensive pay-per-night I've experienced (NOT  :lets_do_it_wild: ). The first it didn't go up quite right (practicing, even hanging from a tree isn't the same) and I can't say I slept particularly well with  it skewing every time Nat (fully asleep) moved.
