Originally planned as ROCKALLSOLO, a unique endurance expedition to be undertaken by Nick Hancock in order to raise funds for Help for Heroes, the aim of the expedition has now refocussed to be a reconnaissance mission for a future 60 day occupation of Rockall. Departing at the end of May 2012, Nick hopes to land on Rockall and carry out various equipment checks and test in preparation for a future record breaking attempt on the rock. The estimated date of departure, which is weather dependant, coincides with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee weekend, and Nick aims to be on the rock during the celebrations.
