I decided to take this not knowing where it went, assuming it was the right direction. Minutes into the walk I slipped on a rock, fell and landed on my face. This resulted in concussion and I could not remember where I was or where I wanted to go. I also had a very swollen cheek, totally numb face and a closed eye&#8230;felt like I&#8217;d been hit by a heavyweight boxer.<\/p>\n<p>I found a vantage point, but I couldn&#8217;t remember any names of places or recognise any landmarks. It was quite scary. So I just carried on walking and eventually I regained memory, but hadn&#8217;t a clue where I now was, and could no longer recognise the coastal point I needed to head towards to get back to Bugibba, so I headed back to Mosta, on the way I came across a murmoration of starlings which was an amazing sight against the setting sun.<\/p>\n<div class=\"img_attch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"550\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2948\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/starlings.jpg\" alt=\"Starlings\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bargh.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/starlings.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bargh.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/starlings-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bargh.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/starlings-768x422.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A planned walk to Dingli cliffs started on the road out to Mosta, then over to Rabat and Mdina.
