- Lets do an update on whats happening over at one of our beautiful bays enjoyed by tourists and locals alike, There was a dispute last year with the new owner, blocking public access to the idyllic bay - Fomm ir-Riħ. The owner had no permit. He hadn’t even bothered to apply for one. and was sadly backed by a minster ? This gate as now been removed sadly replaced with ugly signs and chains with a guard and dog ...Go read an intereting blog by Kevin Cassar

Wonderful clear crisp video, sound good to, welcome the new go,pro. This truly is a lovely spot , we have never walked down there but always go to view it from where you parked.
I think I mentioned about signs everywhere on another of your videos, they have been cropping up slowly for some years, more and more of them, its stopped us from walking in some spots because dont know if signs are official or not and this is a few years back, still nobody seems to do anything about it, Next time I come I will talk to the tourist board and try to get some clarity.
What this guy has done is awful and an eyesore, like you say is it legal. 😩😩😩 Thanks Steve. 👍🇲🇹
great video steve pity about all the signs It’s officially defined as, “The area lying between the Low Water Mark and the High Water Mark of the Full Spring Tide.”
Looks a lovely bay and beach but that chain linked fence looks unsightly. Love the new camera, no wind noise. Xxx
Hey Steve 👋🏼 that walk over the cliff was a bit hair raising on such a windy day 😳 such a shame to see all the signs 🪧 and so much of the place chained off. I must say the quality on the GoPro 10 is fantastic 👌🏼 and the sound was good too even without a wind muffler. As for a name, how about “Fancy Flo, Steve’s new GoPro!” 😂
Thanks for covering this.
What a beautiful walk. Such a beautiful place. ❤️❤️
I always loved it there ..But sadly not so good with all the signs
Beautiful video thanks Steve
Thanks for the short video, shame about all the signs& chains, pity u couldn’t get hold of the Security chap to ask him what’s going on.nice little bay down there!
Glad you enjoyed
Great video and footage thanks for sharing cheers take care 👍
I,m coming next month number 5, looking forward...🤩
At one time when the British ran Malta a portion of my fellow Maltese used to complain because they were not allowed to enter some places in Malta.Since the British left the same people think that they're free,what BULLSHIT. I remember when the British were her we where able to roam any place we wanted except military area.
That is a treacherous path, but what a view. Horrid ugly signs
You have impressed me with your GoPro 10. It has a superior result and I look forward to seeing more videos using this GoPro. I was also impressed with the waves. Considering Malta is in the Mediterranean 'Sea', I have never seen the water being so rough.
Awesome, thank you! ..Oh but thats nothing , I have many when the weather is a lot ,lot rougher !!

Mary 🇦🇺🙋♀️ what a amazing walk, beautiful fresh air I like the sound of wind, beautiful views of the 🌊 🌊🌊🌊, thanks Steve very enjoyable,💕💕🇲🇹💕💕🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️👍👍👍👍
thanks for showing , let us know if there is a way to stop the land owner, I helped with the protest for the 3Citys path that the yacht marina tried to take saying it was not safe to use, we won ,
Another beautiful video Steve! It’s a shame with all these signs. It’s senseless to me. I enjoyed the scenery, I have never been to this place! Thank you for venturing here!
PARADISE LOST INDEED STEVE.
THANKS FOR SHOWING US SUCH ANOMALIES. Must say it's a
beautiful scenic area and a lovely
walk 🚶 🚧 🌿 🌥 🌊 🎥 👏.
Now for the legal jargon (Malta) :-
As of 2016 the entire Maltese FORESHORE was classified as PUBLIC DOMAIN as opposed to "Public Land". The FORESHORE is defined as the first 15 metres of shoreline from where it meets the sea. Hope this info helps ⚖.
I suggest you name your new GoPro 10 "Trekking Tracey" 🎥 ☺.
THANKS STEVE 👏 👏 👏
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
Thanks for the video Steve. Seems a bit dodgy in places but a lovely place. The video and sound were great. I also like the name Fancy Flo.
Thanks 👍
👍Thanks Steve,🌈well ,on this trip you really see the🌊🌊 raw nature of Malta,😀 which I like so much💃 ,so i'ts a shame that people can not go there ;😬 amazing place..from Copenhagen DK 🇩🇰
What a lovely walk and beautiful area. I love when you do videos like this,as I get to see areas I wouldn't normally see, as there's no way my dodgy knee would allow me to do the walk 😂 Take care 🥰
Lovely video Steve it’s a shame about all the signs love the name mazy for amazing videos for your camera as it takes good quality videos and sound recording
Thanks 👍
I really get angry when i walk in the countryside and am stopped to walk further because of all these signs indicating private property..... what is the Government doing about this stolen land!!!!!!! NOTHING.
Good luck trying to figure out the Maltese government and their laws Steve. I have been trying for 65years!
I always enjoy your videos, the new camera seems to do well in blocking out the wind noise even without the attachments. Its is a shame that access is being denied to the area, it's been happening here in Southern Ontario for years. A sign of "progress" I'm sure.
Just looked at the definition of foreshore and it says the land between the waters edge and the cultivated land. None of the land in your video looks that cultivated. Shame that it's being blocked off though. Agree that this is a lovely part of the island.
That was an excellent video and i really enjoyed it so much. That bay looks lovely what a great setting with the lovely rocks and sea crashing in on the shore. The Maltese Government needs to do somethig otherwise people will have no where to walk the whole island could be private just one mass of people owning land.
I would of thought that the land belonged to the council .
I just worry about the wire with the birds and the wild life.
In the UK the area between the high and low water marks is Crown property and anyone can access it. There are some exceptions (military establishments etc) but there is a map where you can see where these are.
Definition of foreshore: part of the shore between high and low water marks, or between the water and cultivated or developed land.
A gorgeous area Steve , and judging by the amounts of `private` signs it`s nearly a guarantee that there`ll soon be a hotel appearing .
The foreshore is the land between the high and low water mark on the seashore - Malta inherited UK law this matter where foreshore is Crown property - should be clear right of access for fishing purposes but i am not sure about recreation purposes
Sadly its being taken away slowly from the people
Wow Steve....that is awesome.....such a beautiful area of Malta 🇲🇹. Loved it. Thanks 😊 🫂
Hey Steve , what a beautiful area , view is stunning .. shame if they keep blocking places . 🤔Security works well .24 hours 🤔😂must have been on a tea break 💜
Another nice video, thanks Steve......your new GoPro 10 is great as there was no indication of blustery wind being recorded.....your voice came out very clear
Malta needs National Trust organisation to acquire and maintain such coastal paths
We have a couple such organisations but without funding its hard 😳
@@EnglishmaninMalta i don't think there is an equivalent organisation in Malta - it would need special legislation to be established as in UK
Another interesting video Steve. Would be great if you could include a map of some kind - a simple hand-drawn sketch would do. I'm quite happy to look-up locations on Google Earth if I know where to start.
You could call your new go pro :Marilyn as in Monroe
The footage looked far superior Steve, the hero 10 will spank the hero 8. Sharp, clear and stable and better footage all round. Shame accessories are not interchangeable and a further drain on the wallet.
The guy who erected the signs and chains has himself created a safety issue by forcing a route far too close to the edge. All it will take is a slip and somebody will be injured and possibly killed, why, because a path has been routed dangerously close to cliff tops, absolutely ridiculous.
And having an armed guard is intimidating and threatening and only escalates the issue.
Lovely video Steve, sadly i dont know how far inland the foreshore reaches. Would be interesting to know.
Looks dangerous. And.... the private property has been surveyed, fenced and posted. Maybe Malta could offer some lengthy tax write offs in exchange for the land. Maybe Malta doesn't want the land.
Sad that a beautiful part of the coast line is blocked like that.
What about Sweaty as Betty's replacement.
Great video Steve really really like this one. Really sad how he put so many signs up there and Maltese government is allowing him to do all that and ruining the landscape absolutely terrible. I have to agree with you. How can the person that says he owns the land tell which part is his and which part is the government's really sad somebody should speak up you should make some more videos about this. Really enjoyed it this is one place I want to go to on my next trip there. Philip and Debbie Las Vegas Nevada USA
Such a disgrace !
HI STEVE WATCHED YOUR VIDEO OF YOUR WALK DOWN TO THAT BEACH,AND I MYSELF WOULD NEVER GO TO A PLACE SO OUT OF THE WAY,AND DIFFICULT TO GET TO.AS FOR THE NOTICES THERE I THINK THEY ARE STUPID IN SUCH A PLACE,AND TO BE PRIVATE, WHAT FOR?IN SUCH A AREA SO DIFFICULT TO GET TOO ECT.
Strange happen in Malta sign appear out of the blue to calm the land
Can you make a video walking or passing by the university of Malta , it doesn’t have much videos about it on RUclips
Is the access-banning owner perhaps one of the dubiously mega-rich passport purchasers? In Britain, you can check who owns what with the land registry. Before the EU, corruption in Malta was rare.
Hi Paul, it's the same in Malta - Land Registry/Plans and/or deeds are all in the public domain. There is a handy government website as well which I've used successfully. As to "Corruption" & "EU", I think you'll find it's the other way round my friend.
Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺
Lovely place , such a shame it can’t be left for people to enjoy.
That walk is a bit hairy,well done for not gettin blown over. Its very sad how some people just claim its theirs 😡
What is he going to do with the land is it useful
Great video again...is it safe to walk Siliema to Valetta and return thanks.
Safe as in danger ! People or cars ? Malta is safe everywhere, Its quite a way, about an hour though Msdia , or you could take the ferry or bus ,
Sadly all these lovely places now belong to the privileged few}
That land was given to as a fief to a Sicilian baron in the Middle-ages by some viceroy, under the obligation of protecting that land buy building some tower and keeping arms and soldiers. That policy was normal in Europe during the Middle-ages but when the Order of St. John came to Malta and after the British that obligation became absolite, but the barons kept the land. In other countries like Denmark such lands were taken back by the governments in France taken back by the revolution. Now some Maltese so called developers bought it and want to build villas and apartments for foreign buyers.
Nice video 👍
I think we need more signs......sarcasm
signs pollution. if one can trash rural area like this so put the same shite on a buildings every 2 meters and your city would look like some kind of prison.
Its a descgrace all that private land and maltese people cant enjoy maltese nature because all of these selfish people that made land their own.
30 years a go be for the eu malta was great now all private
