The "Low-Down & High-Up" Boyne Valley Trek
Details
## Details
Get ready, team. This Saturday, we’re taking you low before we get you high. We’re diving deep into the Boyne Valley watershed, weaving through the forest, and eventually conquering the 512-meter lookout for a 360-degree vista that’ll make your Instagram followers weep with envy.
You don’t want to miss this—unless you have a personal vendetta against fresh air and spectacular views.
📍 The Game Plan
- The Rendezvous: Meet at the Subway sandwich store at Hwy 10 & Hwy 89.
- The Time: 9:45 AM sharp. (That’s "9:45" in human time, not "9:45ish" in hiker time).
- The Logistics: With gas prices being what they are, please carpool—or ensure your Tesla is topped up with enough electrons to get us there and back.
- Pro Tip: This is your golden opportunity for a "civilized" bathroom break and a caffeine infusion before we vanish into the woods.
- Distance options: 9 km (The Appetizer) or 13 km (The Main Course). We’re ranking this a Level 2.5 effort and 5.0 views, enough to justify that post-hike snack."
🚗 Parking Tetris
Depending on our numbers, we’ll drive two minutes north to the Lilliputian parking lot. If we show up looking like a motorcade, we’ll leave a few sacrificial cars at the Subway lot to keep things manageable.

🎒 The "Must-Haves"
Please bring water and snacks. You’re all big girls and boys now; I shouldn't have to remind you that dehydration isn't a personality trait.
One last thing: People ask if we’re climbing mountains or just "hill-areas." Honestly? It’s going to be hill-arious until we hit the incline—then it’s just business.
See you on the trail.
