    A couple spring to mind and can be done within 3 hours (although the art's lough one would be stretching it):
    1. Art's lough near Lug - http://www.walkingroutes.ie/1031-Arts-Lough.html.
    2. The spink at Glendalough - http://www.walkingroutes.ie/1290-Glendalough-Spinc-route.html.

    Why not simply do your " easy 3-4 " in 2.5 - 3 making it a " tough one ";)

    How do you define "tough"? What are you looking to achieve?

    In about 3 hours you could go up and down Lug via Slievemaan. No running needed, just a brisk walk and not really having a break. A very satisfying walk if you ask me - in a very short time to go up Ireland's highest peak outside of Kerry :)

    That's the only one of the main routes up Lug that I haven't taken myself, but it looks a much longer route than via Slievemaan. Would 3 hours return not be pushing it?
