MT. KILIMANJARO
Mount Kilimanjaro, located in Tanzania, is Africa's highest mountain at 5,895 meters (19,341 feet) and the world's tallest free-standing mountain. A dormant volcano with three cones (Kibo, Mawenzi, Shira), it is a popular, non-technical trek that passes through multiple climate zones.
THE MONGOL DERBY
"This is no pony trek or guided tour. There’s no marked course, no packed lunches, no beds to sleep in. That’s the whole point. It’s just you, your team of horses, and a thousand kilometres of Mongolian wilderness. The course consists of 25 horse stations at 40km intervals where you swap your horse and refuel. You change horses at every station and deliver your mounts to the next in great health. How you navigate between them is where your adventure begins"
The Equestrianists
Oh, and the horses are semi-wild...
RAT RACE ULTRA MARATHONS
A few attempts (of varying successes and varying enjoyment) can be found in the blog. Including:
Coast to Coast, two-day run, cycle and kayak across Scotland.
Man V Mountain, a marathon up Snowden.
Tour or Arran, two days of back-to-back marathons through the Scottish Isle.
The Wall, a 70-mile road run across the UK along Hadrian's Wall
IRONMAN
A 2-mile, open water swim followed by a 110 bike ride, topped off with a road marathon..in one day. How do you make his harder? Well you could have never swum further than 500m, never have swum in open water, be scared of riding bikes and hate road running because you get shin splints after 5 miles. That would just about do it!
