    As a matter of fact, Rockall has actually had a resident for the past 3 months - a gennleman named Mick Hancock who has been camped out in a pod on the summit (if that's the correct terminology) to raise funds for Help for Heroes.

    You can read all about Mick's valiant effort right here
    45 days actually. Finished now.
    He was aiming for 60 days but I think some supplies got washed away early on.

    Look up Tom McCLean who set the original record. 40 days in a plywood box.
