However, after 32 days, he called for rescue due to declining weather conditions.

The Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) sent a search and rescue helicopter, which winched Cameron to safety.

He was taken to Stornoway and is safe and well.

The current world record for staying on Rockall is 45 days, set by adventurer Nick Hancock in 2014.
