A balanced variety of cultural and scenic walks in Malta and Gozo are being held this month by the Ramblers Association. Participants are to wear good non-slip shoes and adequate clothing for autumn weather. Surfaces may be slippery when wet, which is likely at this time of year.

A walk being held tomorrow will take in Buskett and its surroundings. The moderate walk involves steep inclines and rough terrain in the Buskett woods and nearby Wied l-Isqof. It starts at the covered car park in Buskett at 9am and lasts some four hours.

Ramblers will be taken to Gozo for a moderate walk which starts at the Mġarr ferry terminal at 10.30am on Wednesday and will take about four hours from the harbour to Xlendi via Ta’ Ċenċ.

On November 25 ramblers will go to Żurrieq valley for a moderate to hard walk over rough terrain that starts off from the parvis of Żurrieq parish church at 9am. It will follow paths along Wied Bassasa and Wied Babu for about four hours.

In case of inclement weather, walks may be cancelled. For further information call 9949 7080 or 7733 2433 or visit http://www.ramblersmalta.org or www.facebook.com/ramblersmalta.
