Rockall, with its base of 25 metres, is constantly being pounded by 3,000 miles of Atlantic swell. The world’s largest recorded oceanic waves of 29 metres were recorded there in the year 2000; 6 metres higher than Rockall itself. Being in such an isolated location, over 180 miles from nearest land, the sea state can change in minutes, and as Rockall lies outside the air sea rescue zone, all these conditions combine to make it the most difficult island in the world to sleep on. Only four people have ever spent the night on Rockall, I intend to be the fifth and the first without shelter.
The objectives for the expedition are:
- For myself to spend at least one night on the island without shelter.
- To raise my Yorkshire Flag atop of Rockall.
- For Radio Hams to activate the island.
- The Isle of Rockall
