That’s it! You can even print the generated route. We will post Solstice Experience signs at local junctions for Glebe House. Keep following the signs with the stars spiral:
For car pooling, post directly to the FB wall carpool to find someone closer to the date.
For buses & taxis & driving directions please read on (!) If you are using a taxi, make sure your driver knows where Glebe House, Dowth is!
If you are bussing to the venue there are three routes from Dublin: Dub-Slane (most direct & gets you closer to the venue); Dub-Navan (most frequent, you will need local taxi to get to the venue or organise car-pool); and Dub-Drogheda (get to Drodheda by bus or even by train from Connolly Station; and then organise carpool or get local taxi)
If you are coming from Dublin airport, the best thing is to hop on the Navan bus (leaves Airport hourly) & then get taxi Navan-Glebe House (Dowth).

Attention:
Google Maps or your GPS might guide you to the wrong ‘Glebe House’ if you input ‘Glebe House’ manually (it will show Wexford/Limerick etc). The venue can also appear as Glebe Cottage, Dowth, Meath, Ireland in your GPS.
Do not follow the road signs for ‘Newgrange’ as this will lead you to the OPW’s Newgrange Visitor Centre (which is totally on the opposite side of the river Boyne!
