Tuesday’s Gozo-Rocks hike had a another good turnout, with a couple of new faces to join the group, organiser Louis Debattista said.

He was disappointed that more Gozitan families did not join them for the hike. “We did have one mother and son team from Gozo. There were twenty-two of us all together, hailing from the U.S., Malta, Gozo, France and Belgium.”The weather was perfect, Louis said, they did a loop hike starting from St Joseph Home in Ghajnsielm and back, “everyone really enjoyed themselves because we were just hiking and not cleaning up or picking up trash, as we would do in the winter.”

“I was happy to see the area that we cleaned up 6 months ago still looking good. Yes, once in a while you can spot a bottle or metal can but overall it looks much better.”On the rest stop some of the kids got together and buillt a hut with the branches that were on the ground around them.

Next Sunday’s hike will be at 2:00pm starting from Qala local council. Louis will provide details on the route later in the week, there will also be an update and information on the Facebook page. (Gozo Rocks Clean & Green Hike or Gozo Greyhounds Sport Club).
