Brace of new Rockall t-shirts hits the shops

As promised last week, we have finally ripped the packing tape off the bulging boxes containing our all-new Rockall map t-shirts and, well, they look absolutely marvellous:

Regular readers may remember the first version of this fine piece of apparel, but suffice it to say we have redesigned and improved the original to such a degree that we can now with confidence declare that it represents the absolute last word in metropolitan chic. The shirt goes out for £12.76 (£14.99 inc VAT), and comes in sizes ranging from medium to XXL, so there's little excuse for not giving us your support by flashing the plastic, which you can do right here.

And there's more. Next week marks the official announcement of our Rockall Ho! 2005 charity assault on the world's remotest islet — our second trip in aid of Mental Health Media. To celebrate this event, due to take place from 11-24 June 2005, we have designed our very own Rockall crest, complete with Latin motto and everything, and printed it on a crisp white cotton shirt in sizes from medium to XXL.

All proceeds from the sale of this shirt go to offsetting the cost of the trip. There will be a dedicated page for people to make a donation direct to the charity, but in the meantime kit yourself out with this delicious limited edition. As an added bonus, the first 25 people ordering this shirt in XL will receive a tasty XL example of our transfer-printed Rockall Ho! 2003 t-shirt. Full details in the shop.

More about the Rockall Ho! 2005 adventure will appear in our 22 November issue. Oh yes, what does Ultra Mare Usque Nusquam mean? All will be revealed in due course.
