The world's most extreme camping trip

[Jazzy]

Campers craving the ultimate in peace and quiet can now find it 500ft up a sheer mountain face.

Accommodation comes in the form of a 'portaledge' - an incredibly strong frame covered in canvas, secured to a cliff face in the German Alps.

Campers have to scale the mountain to get to their bed for the night - and can only bring with them the bare essentials of a sleeping bag, a rope and a basic dinner.

Despite the basic amenities a night on the edge in a two person portaledge costs £750.

Fearless adventurers sleep alongside an instructor, who takes up the outside position just inches from the 500ft sheer drop.

The two campers wear a safety harness to stop them falling should they roll over in their sleep.

The extreme camping experience is the brainchild of staff at Waldseilgarten-Hollschlucht, an outdoor activity centre in Pfronten, Bavaria.

Robin Currie, a climbing expert and guide at Waldseilgarten, said the cliffside experience, known as the Big Wall, was "only for the most hardcore thrill-seekers".

"You're as high as 500ft and you're completely exposed to all the elements - we call it 'camping in the air'," he said.
