Agent podcasters complete coastal cliff-camping charity challenge

The co-hosts of the Tales of A Travel Agent podcast have raised almost £1,300 for two charities by camping on a coastal cliff-face overnight.

Jake Cullum-Hollins, chief executive of The Good Travel Agent, and Club Voyages consultant Becky Walker teamed up for the “ridiculous challenge” to support Good Hope Moshi in Tanzania and Adoption Focus in the UK.

The pair were suspended over the sea in Pembrokeshire, trying to sleep overnight in a ‘portaledge’ – a hanging tent generally used by climbers on a big wall climb.

Cullum-Hollins said on social media that he was “shaking in fear” as he abseiled down to the platform and then waited for Walker to join him.

He also woke up in the night but saw a bright moon shining, saying: “I’d never seen anything like it.”

They made it to the morning and, although it was “scary” being hoisted back up the cliff, he concluded: “It was a great experience.”

Walker has been involved with Good Hope since 2020, helping the charity to lift children out of poverty with tutoring and finding sponsors for secondary school education.

Meanwhile, Adoption Focus is an adoption charity based in Birmingham which helps children find loving, permanent homes and supports adoptive families.

Cullum-Hollins and his husband Oli turned to Adoption Focus in 2018 to help complete their family.
