I am considering to walk the Malta Coastal walk in one hike, it will be about 155-160km (with medical team). Anyone familiar with the route?

No information I'm afraid, but watching with interest...

Be careful you don't get shot by the 'hunters'.

Have you contacted the Ramblers group in Malta?
They often walk those paths and would have valuable information.

Many of the 'hunters' are not too fussy and can get quite aggressive if you walk in 'their' area!!!

I was planning on walking roads mainly, would it still be a problem then? I could also plan it that way that I am walking the hunting areas by daylight. I guess the hunting areas are mainly in the north-west of Malta?

I enjoy walking but 160k seems a little extreme for me. 5- 10k is more my thing.

Also watching with interest...

“Hunters”? What do you mean?

The Maltese who like to go out with shotguns and shoot anything that flies, from a Robin to a bird of prey.
They like to call themselves 'Hunters'!
