Coast to Coast Challenge
September 06th - 15th 2008

In the early 1860's four young men left their family's smallholding in the West of Ireland and set out to walk the 120 or so miles to Dublin.
This was the first leg of a journey that brought them to New Zealand, where they found themselves at the centre of an extraordinary story.

Nearly a hundred and fifty years later Author John Mulligan set out to walk the same route in reverse, and in doing so he found time to consider the story of the four Flannerys and their achievements.
This is not just his story, but theirs as well, and even by modern day standards it is an amazing tale.
In September 2007 John Mulligan and 19 brave souls set out on the 188 mile journey from Dublin to Mayo along the banks of the royal canal, passing through 8 counties to the final destination in Newport Co, Mayo.

Dublin Simon is delighted to announce that John Mulligan will lead the challenge once again giving you the chance to walk the walk and raise vital funds for the Dublin Simon Community!
