Expedition to Rockall Islands June 2006.
The expedition will start from Oslo, Norway in middle of June 2006, our main target is to sail the old route D/S Norge* did in 1904. We will stay on Rockall with boat standing by for about one week. We will also have radio amateurs on the Rock who will operate radios and sending info to the mainland, we hope to get live viedo from Rockall on the net.
Seems they have space for one more to join them - no thanks:\

Very good account(comical) of a trip to Rockall last year: here (http://www.therockalltimes.co.uk/2005/06/20/rockall-triumph.html)

Presumably they operate /P ?

Ah! Sweet Rockall . . .

Not /MM then?

Unless summat goes wrong.

If they have to get air-lifted off the Rock, maybe they'll use /AM:p

Rockall has its own paper as well: The Rockall Times (http://www.therockalltimes.co.uk/2006/04/03/rice-rockall.html)..... :p

Seems they have space for one more to join them - no thanks:\ Wunderbar:}, you say there's a place left still, yes?
How does one go about nominating a perfect candidate for the trip and more importantly, would they terribly mind if the said candidate arrives/is delivered in a perhaps slightly.. eer... unconscious state or in a very deep sleep:\ if you will, with a pretty little note pinned to his manly chest - 'please deliver to Rockall and leave there, under no circumstances can be returned to sender'...
Whadddya think, would it work?
Just a thought...:suspect:
