Coping with the cold over the past few months has required all manner of ingenuity. Layers have taken on a whole new meaning and hats with animal ears have suddenly become the height of fashion for girls over the age of 36 months.
But one man has taken coping with the extreme temperatures to a whole new level. TV and radio presenter Tim Shaw (above, in more sociable times) has locked himself inside a box, measuring just 3 feet high, 4.5 feet wide and 8 feet long, for 30 days and 30 nights.
As much as he likes hedgehogs, this is not just an extreme form of hibernation. It’s a competition where you have 30 days and 30 nights to find him. Even he has no idea where he is; the only clue is that the location has some personal significance to him and he has visited it at some point in his 35 years. All you have to do is listen as in solitary confinement he recalls the events of his life, and plot the co-ordinates of his location. If your co-ordinates are correct, you receive £30,000 cash, the door lights turn green and his ordeal is over.
All profits are donated to Help for Heroes and there are eight days left to locate him. Visit http://www.maninbox.co.uk/ to find out more.
