Ben Nevis Triathlon...
Also check out the X Terra stuff, and then what's that super grim one involving military style punishment?
EDIT: Ah yes.. Tough Guy http://www.toughguy.co.uk/
cool - thanks - any more for any more?
and if you've done them yourself, my email is tamarvin @ googlemail.com...!
Marathon De Sables. If you can get a place on it, that should really push you.
Failing that, have you considered something like the Alcatraz Ironman? Three sports in one and a lovely location to do them all in.
What's the project?
alcatraz ironman sounds interesting...

Endurance Life are putting on the first off road Iron Man* in 2012.
Also look at the Norseman Tri, which is aparantly the hardest Iron Man race.
* it's Iron Man distance but not an actual Iron Man event.
awesome, thanks for those. some inspiration there too!
29erkeith, i may get in touch at some point, if thats ok!
I attempted the English Channel last year as a solo swim, having a go at the Devices to Westminster canoe race next year. 125 miles nonstop paddling runs over Easter weekend. Should take about 20 hours to complete.

fantastic, thanks
aidan, i might get in touch with you too, perhaps!
Devises (sp?) Westminster is a famous route in canoeing circles. You'll need to find a partner to do the one day race thoug.
There's one on the Yukon as well but that's harder to get to on a weekend.
When we were in BC there were some people racing down the coast of Canada in seakayaks.
There's the Green river race which is only short but challenging!
@ hungry monkey, yeah no worries email in profile
