Conditions had become too dangerous for Chris Cameron on Rockall in the exposed North Atlantic
A veteran who hoped to set a world record for living on a tiny remote islet off Scotland has been rescued in a 'Mayday' call by the Coastguard after being almost swept away.
Cam’s equipment was destroyed by the wind and waves, and on several occasions overnight, he was almost swept away, the Rockhall expedition team said in a statement. "We looked at a number of options to safely extract Cam if required, but it quickly became apparent the most appropriate option was for him to issue a ‘Mayday’ call, which was picked up by HM Coastguard at Stornoway.
