Tara is up a turn-off to the west of  the N3 between Navan and Dublin

 

For the Vigil site - turn right at the gate and  follow the road for about 100 yards until you see tents and a gap in the hedge -thats it !

 

There is also a new camp at Rath Lugh to keep an eye on Lismullin henge and prevent it being buldozed in the night as the site at Baronstown was -

but it may be best to go to Tara hill first and somebody will help you to find the new camp .

...or ...it is roughly where the compass is on the map below ...

 

 

 

By Public transport

From Dublin - go to the Busaras station ( the main bus station , near to the Customs House , Connolly station etc )

  Get a bus to either Kells or Navan and ask to be set off at Tara Cross .

  There is nothing much but a bus stop at Tara Cross - walk on a bit in the direction the bus was going and there will be a small sign on the left to Tara ( Teamhair )

    Walk up that road - it is about 3/4 mile but there are no turnoffs so you cant get lost .

   You will see the Entrance to the Tara site - a Gift shop - a church - a statue of St Patrick and a caravan .

   For the Vigil site -turn right at the gate and  follow the road around the hill for about 100 yards until on the left you see tents and a gap in the hedge -thats it !

    There is a tipi ( pointy tent ) - you cant miss it  ; )

The Vigil phone number -   086-1758557

  - which is 0035386-1758557 from outside the Republic of Ireland     

 

the Vigil site is more or less at the top left hand corner of the above map - the gap in the hedge is by the D in Deisiol Teamhrach
  

There will be food there - but there is no telling what it will be - though it will probably be pasta .

 You wont starve - but please feel free to bring any food you can get ahold of along the way . Especially fruit - chocolate -cheese -etc etc etc also any firewood you can get your hands on

No drugs , no alcohol , no violence , racism , sexism , sectarianism or any of that old stuff  but bringing waterproof clothes - wellingtons ; a sleeping bag and a tent would be a very good idea  - a musical instrument if you can play at all - but even if you just bring yourself - you will be more than welcome

  - Hope to see you there !
