ATTN Youths, Students!: Next/First Walk!


Dear all,

Hope you have been having a good start to this academic year.

The student ramblers are back!

In fact, the next walk being organised - the first one for this academic year! - is on Sunday the 31st of October. Will will meet at Dingli, specifically at St. Magdalene's Chapel* at 14:30 hrs. Will tour the cliffs, stopping to observe anything of note. The first part of the walk will finish at an undisclosed (:)), very nice and quiet location. We will take a break there. The second part of the walk will take us through the quiet village, and we will finish off where we started (i.e. at St. Magdalene's Chapel).
