A man is to live on his own on a rock in the middle of the North Atlantic for 60 days in order to raise money for military charity Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n
Nick Hancock will stay in a pod on the small landmass known as Rockall, which is 21 metres high and 260 miles from the Outer Hebrides.<\/p>\n
His daring and solo challenge will provide a good opportunity for him to raise money for the charity.<\/p>\n
Mr Hancock told the BBC that he fears the weather will mean he has to stay inside his pod for three or four days at a time, which he suspects may have a negative impact on his mood.<\/p>\n
He first visited Rockall last year and he admitted it "grabbed his imagination", leading to him dreaming of a return visit.<\/p>\n
Now, it has emerged that the visit will last for 60 days and result in him hopefully raising a significant sum for Help for Heroes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
