Hi we still have some kit to remove from our fundraising trip to Rockall. Looking for a couple of good climbers to climb rock and help retrieve the kit . You need about a week window about 2 /3 days sail each way . We will cover the cost of vessel and food possible dates 19-25Aug

Update from the vessel. They have been unable to land on Rockall to recover equipment due to weather conditions. They are returning the the mainland.

The team will re-plan for the next recover attempt.

They will also activate MM0UKI one last time, so that any radio operators who did not manage to get a QSL card last time can tick it off their list.

2/2 A big thank you also, to the Captain and crew of MV Nassauborg, who maintained a sector screen around Rockall whilst I waited for the helo. I owe them all my life. Thanks Team. Cam Cameron VR FRGS

Dear Troops, many thanks for your kind sentiments and best wishes. While I think of it. I would not be here were it not for the courageous efforts of HM Coastguard in particular, Stornoway Coastguard and The pilots and crew of Rescue 22, &SAR Stornoway. 1/2

Well it really did get rough! But you can still donate to our 2 amazing charities!

It’s not the end of the journey yet. We’ve still got to go back out and get all the kit back! That won’t be for a few weeks though!

Due to declining weather conditions & sea state at Rockall over the last 24 hrs, Cam has this afternoon declared a Mayday. An operation to evacuate him from Rockall is currently being coordinated by HM Coastguard.
Please do not speculate at this time

Live from Cam on Rockall -

“If someone could post on Facebook for me - the best birthday present in the world would be if people can send a few quid into the JustGiving pot to support our Armed Forces personnel, their families and our Veterans”
