Default Ultimate soaring challenges or adventures

I am looking to compile a list of 'The Ultimate Soaring Adventures'.
I'd
appreciate any input from the forum on what they see as the pinnacle
of
soaring whether it is a 1000km task, flying New Zealands wave or some
other goal that may be beyond the day-to-day pilots reach.

I'll put up a list on a website once I get some input.


I have always wanted to fly a thermal flight from Crystalaire to
Minden on one day, and then back the next day. I have flown, in parts
all the sections except from Topaz Lake to Mammoth. This would be in
my SparrowHawk. Flying a really long distance wave flight would also
be great. JP has done the wave flight but 12hrs is a little much, 8
would be plenty long enough for me, maybe at a faster speed, 900k ?
