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

Our beginnings

The Ramblers Association of Malta was set up in February 2005 on the initiative of Lino Bugeja who had long led a one-man campaign in the press against whole swathes of countryside and a good number of country paths and lanes being closed off little by little by means of gates, fences and those ubiquitous signs claiming " RTO " or suchlike. The initial meeting to set up the association held at the Din l-Art Helwa premises in Valletta attracted a turnout of around 300 persons eager to share their experiences and do something positive to reclaim the countryside for the benefit of all. An ad-hoc committee was set up to start the ball rolling in preparation for the first general meeting held in October 2005. Once again the public responded positively to this meeting and a committee was elected to serve for two years with the energetic Lino Bugeja being reconfirmed as President of the Association
