  In this contribution, a first look at simulations using maximally twisted
mass Wilson fermions at the physical point is presented. A lattice action
including clover and twisted mass terms is presented and the Monte Carlo
histories of one run with two mass-degenerate flavours at a single lattice
spacing are shown. Measurements from the light and heavy-light pseudoscalar
sectors are compared to previous $N_f = 2$ results and their phenomenological
values. Finally, the strategy for extending simulations to $N_f = 2 + 1 + 1$ is
outlined.
