With 41 days on Rockall under his belt, Nick Hancock broke the current 40-
Today (Thurs) he will break the 42-
He celebrated achieving the solo record by popping a small bottle of champagne while also sending a tweet with a message to veteran adventurer Tom McClean, of Morar in the west Highlands. Tom held the solo record for 29 years and Nick's message was simply: "Sorry Tom."
Mr McClean's wife Jill has since sent a message saying: "Tom is busy at present planning his ventures and has asked me to say 'well done' to Nick and to tell him to keep up the good work!"
Cruise boat operator Kilda Cruises say expected favourable weather conditions at the weekend mean they now plan to take Nick off the rock on Saturday.
