60 Days on Rockall

Herr-Berbunch · 05-17-13, 08:04 AM

I'm sure we've all been there, virtually. Rockall Bank is usually the bain of my SH3 life, along with the RN and Coastal Command. Now this guy is going to live on Rockall for 60 days.

A British man is hoping to set a new world endurance record by living solo for 60 days on a remote island rock, to raise money for charity.
Rockall is a 21m high eroded volcano, lying 260 miles from the Outer Hebrides, in the North Atlantic.
Nick Hancock will stay in a pod on the rock, to protect him from the elements.

IIRC he made the current world record himself last year.

10 days is cool 60 is insane. Someone should tell him to get off that that rock.

I can think of the odd person I'd like to see on that rock

Not hard to figure it out,

I didn't know there was a rock sticking out there. Is that at high tide or low tide? Looks pretty miserably.

It was once asked if it was included in GWX

STEED is actually a sea horse so he'd have no bother out there

I figured with the global warming, the thing would be underwater by now.

It usually is during a storm

Starting timer for first McDonalds to go in.

Yeah, that's finally a record worth going after!

Who wouldn't want to be able to show off with that?

I'm wondering who is going to supply him with food and water.
