Having tackled a few adventures on my to do list I've realised that creativity and not eagerness is a block on having really excellent adventures.
I thought that a topic on Adventure Ideas might help inspire us with our own outdoor adventures by people recommending either an Adventure/Hike/Event they've done themselves or always wanted to do.
Ideally suggestions should be able to be completed in a day or two days max and be outdoor inspired.
What's the best adventure or hike you've either done or wish to complete?

I'll kick start it here with my own personal top 10 in no particular order:
1) The Mourne Wall
2) Running a Marathon
3) Building a raft and paddling down the Lagan
4) The Mourne Mountain Marathon
5) Exploring Percy Caves
6) Building a wild hut and sleeping in it overnight
7) Cycling across Ireland coast to coast
8) The high ropes course at Tollymore
9) Creating a geocache treasure hunt
10) Bagging Donard within an hour
I've completed some of the above and others I'm still to do. Hopefully someone might get a bit of inspiration from some of the ideas there.

The seven sevens in a day
Camping on each of the seven sevens
Doing the 6 summits of the 6 kingdoms

Oops, just read the original post, be hard to complete my last 2 suggestions in a day or 2.
-
- A really gruelling one is the Mourne 500 challenge (http://mourne500.blogspot.co.uk/).
- One for the long finger is to climb all of the 32 county high points.
- A good account here of completing the Irish 4 Peaks (http://ulsterwalker.blogspot.co.uk/2009/06/irish-4-peaks.html)
