Members of the Gozo-Greyhound Youth Athletic Club, which is based in Qala, had a lovely four hour hike from Mgarr to Xlendi around the rugged coastline of Gozo.

Louis Debattista, who organised the hike said that, “there were 9 in the group and it was a perfect number with kids from 9 to 16 years old and Ripley, our 12-week-old puppy that also walked non-stop leading the way to Xlendi.”“It was nice to see these kids being mentally and physically strong trying walk and see what we have around us on our beautiful island,” Louis said.

Louis is inviting other young people, not just from Qala, to join them on the hikes. “These hikes that I am going to do it cost nothing so join us and stay active and healthy before the cold weather comes.”

The Gozo Greyhounds Youth Athletic Club is an NGO run by volunteers, with parents making up the committee. The young members of the club in Qala meet regularly to train in running and cycling with Louis Debattista.
