This year’s hike will cover a total of 17km.
The annual walk between the night of Maundy Thursday and Good Friday in aid of Puttinu Cares is back yet again and here’s everything you need to know before embarking on this adventure.
Those who wish to attend such a hike have to be in the Sanctuary Square in Mellieha before midnight between the night of the 6th April and 7th April.
From here the group hike will walk to Xemxija, pass through Saint Paul’s Bay, then through the Mosta Square, before heading to Hal-Lija and then the Birkirkara and Msida valley. Here they’ll start to make their way to the Pieta Harbour, where they will finish the hike at the granaries in Floriana.
This means that they will be covering a total distance of 17 kilometres that will roughly take around four to five hours.
All those who wish to attend don’t have to book, they simply have to show up at the starting point in Mellieha. They also have to donate a sum of €10 that will directly go to Puttinu Cares.
Additionally, transport will be provided for all those that need a lift to Mellieha. Transport will also be organised after the walk from Floriana to get people back home.
The transport routes will pass from Floriana through Mellieha and back. Anyone who wishes to book transport can do so by calling on 99991800 or by messaging the following Facebook page.
Transport for Gozitans will also be provided and Gozitans can book their place by calling 99891772.
