Walk 2 - Building work has been reported at Fort St Rocco, where it may not be possible to follow the route as described. It may be better to use the bus to Xghajra and start the walk at that point.
Walk 30 - Ramla Bay - The dunes may be cordoned off while conservation work is taking place. Please do not cross any areas where such work is taking place, but detour round them to continue along the route.
