Given the man is doing it for charity, why not? He gets much better publicity than he would sitting in an armchair.

For me Help for Heroes is a very important charity - so I think I'll salute the guy rather than insult him.

I think I'd rather live there than in the suburbs of, say, Birmingham, Manchester or London.

Its important to keep Rockhall in the public eye, there are so many countries want it.

It has a lot of fishing/oil grounds with it, after all.

Yeah, no probs. Here, hold my beer.


Good luck to him. If he wasn't doing this for a worthy charity cause then I'd question his mental health. At least he not planning on doing it while sitting in a bath full of baked beans. Those people are just too much like whacky attention seekers.

If you you dislike attention seekers then er ignore them.

Hope the adventure goes well for him and he enjoys it.

I agree about Help for Heroes. I'm just re-reading Dick Proennke (One Man's Wilderness) and wondering why these folks call it "endurance" (OK, for the charity purposes). Sam Keith quotes a poem at the beginning which absolutely says it all for me - from Rhymes for a Rolling Stone (Robert W Service). And, of course, Proennke has massive skills and knows what he's doing before he goes. If I had the skills I'd be out there like a shot!
