Circular route around the northern tip of Malta. Another coastal trail with lovely panoramic vistas of Gozo and Comino over a varied and interesting rugged landscape and including a scattering of agricultural pods within the largely rocky landscape, flat rocky plains by the sea, large boulders, weather hewn rock features like arches and man made irrigation systems that feed this spartan landscape and rock cut rooms and stairs etc. For many, this would be a first time around this area and another trek in our coastal trails series.
The terrain is mostly either rugged including pathways over a series of undulating clay slopes. Apine poles are recommended.
Route Intensity: Moderate to above average
Pace: Moderate
Estimated Trek Duration: 2 hours 30mins to 3 hrs (Estimated)

For those who might wish to donate to their cause, they are collecting a non-obligatory €5 donation. After the trek, there will be a picnic organised for all those who might wish to stay on and join the fun atmosphere.

Anyone proceeding of their own independent accord, separate to the return trail back to the start undertaken by the lead guide, will do so at their own risk and will be automatically absolving Leisure Ventures, the organisers and/or their representatives, of any consequences.
Important notice - It is the responsibility of the participants to ensure that they keep up with the main group in a way that they will receive and be aware of any notifications and information imparted by the organisers or trekking guides or their representatives.

WALKING PACE - This is a group activity and the trekking lead guide will set the pace which should be respected by all. It is up to the individual participants to ensure that their fitness level is such that they can maintain pace with the main group. Equally, nobody is to walk ahead of the lead guide or wander ahead of the trekking group. Whilst the lead guide will keep a modest pace to allow for different levels of fitness, in the interest of the larger group, we reserve the right to walk at a pace that is in keeping with the objectives of the event... fun. Our activities are neither power walks nor a stroll in the park but are aimed at providing both fitness and enjoyment. You are encouraged to train individually to ensure your full and own enjoyment on our activities.
