Inspired by the story of Oisín i dTír na n-Óg, who single-handed threw a boulder up the valley at Glenasmole, you are invited to join the challenge of recreating this mythic feat by working together to carry a granite boulder (in pieces) from Tallaght, to make a cairn at the foot of Kippure. The community cairn is growing, we now need your help to get the rest of the boulder to the top by mid-summer! 

Connecting city with mountains, and people with each other, the project is about walking and talking and connecting to the place over a year.
