FORT PEMBROKE & FORT MADLIENA Circular Walk – 29th March 2009

FORT PEMBROKE & FORT MADLIENA Circular Walk

For today’s walk, about 70 members (including some German guests) waited impatiently at the starting point. After a brief introduction by Alex, we passed through Wied Mejxu (behind Villa Rosa) and headed towards Fort Pembroke. From here we continued towards Pembroke and through a footpath we reached Fort Madliena. Here we could observe the last stretch of the Victoria Lines and also the different widien or valleys in the Gharghur area – the most beautiful being Wied id-Dis. After a short break, we descended via the Victoria Lines, crossed the Coast Road and through a footpath reached the ex-caravan site. From here we walked along the coast till we reached the starting point.

Walk Leader: Simon helped by Sammy.

Duration: 4 hours including breaks (0900-1300)

Distance: 12 km
