Default 60 Days on Rockall

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.
