Honister Slate Mine in Cumbria’s Borrowdale Valley has just launched this vertigo-inducing 500ft-high camping experience, a porta-ledge attached to the side of Fleetwith Pike, overlooking the spectacular Honister Pass.

Activity and Events Coordinator for Honister Slate Mine, Prentice Wilkinson-Weir, said: “On a clear evening, campers will spend an unforgettable night watching the sun set over the Lake District’s stunning landscape, while enjoying an al-fresco dinner, and in the morning, our guests will all be treated to freshly-prepared bacon butties, hand-delivered by our team.”

Safety is of course paramount, so campers have to be harnessed at all times, even during the night, and the activity is naturally weather-dependant.
