To whet your appetites, I'm going to post some pictures that relate to destinations on the route... but I'm not going to give the Event's theme away for a little while ;D
Feel free to comment with any thoughts you might have about what it could possibly be - we won't be confirming or denying any suggestions though ;)

I don't know where this white beach and blue water is, but I want to go there and stay for a while ;D

I know all of you that participate in this event are going to enjoy it.
Oops, apologies to David and Mariano for my confusion.

True, but I don't want to spoil the fun just yet ...
Keep 'em wringling, I say! ;D

When you tell us what it is, I'll say "of cooooourse, how didn't I see it before"
I'm not a very good Sherlock.

Just a guess!

@Murray: I know, I know, me big fibber... :)

OK, if Goggles is to be believed, I know where that is (no spoilers), and Andrei is close...
Post by: EHM-1465 Dominic on April 04, 2012, 07:37:26 pm
I'm sure some of you will work out the link soon but you'll need to look wider than North America!
HINT NUMBER FIVE:-

Luckily, the last one's location is easily found.
But what connects them all ... ??? ???
[good game, Dom!]

HINT NUMBER SIX:-
A much more remote location, ideal for relaxing with a Martini :D

Next hint is another well known destination, an ancient city full of lovers where I remember playing the game "I Spy" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_spy) as a child on holiday.
HINT NUMBER SEVEN:-

EDIT - unless you are referring to HINT 7 which is Venice but we've moved onto HINT 8 now :)
Try re-reading the whole thread - there is a secret theme running through it which the eagle eyed (or perhaps golden eagle-eyed) among you can't fail to spot ;D

Last but one hint now and a fairly easy one again - a real challenge for rock climbers and other adventure seekers. And a view to kill for ;D
HINT NUMBER NINE:-
All will be revealed in tomorrow's final hint unless one of you espies the truth before then ;)

Is this by any chance, something to do with Mr Bond. :-\
Post by: EHM-2097 Andrei on April 08, 2012, 05:07:22 pm
But I will say no "Moore" yet, Dom shall reveal the evil plot behind all this.
And Trevor... I think we'll have to call you "T" now.

Would it be a tour of film locations from the James Bond Films ?
Looks like a picture of Gibraltar.
Cheers

Well done everyone that took part in the thread - I'll give you more details tomorrow and the Event page will go live for you to sign up too ;)
Post by: EHM-1465 Dominic on April 09, 2012, 03:00:33 am
It's the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, the modern name for MI6) headquarters at Vauxhall Cross on the River Thames, London. Featured in several of the modern Bond films this is your ultimate destination on our forthcoming 007 Event ;)
For more details and to join in the fun have a look in the Event thread (http://www.fly-euroharmony.com/forum/index.php/topic,7048.new.html#new) and sign up on the front page of the site ;)

[UPDATE] Edited my post and marked the abovementioned clues in green color

Haven't seen a single Bond movie from start to finish so I guess I'd never guess
Will join the tour if I have time, it certainly looks like it's gonna be all over the place (not in a disorganized way) with very interesting destinations
Post by: EHM-1465 Dominic on April 09, 2012, 12:50:40 pm
@ All - I've highlighted all my hints in the thread in red as per Andrei's post to let you know where all the clues were (apart from the pictures themselves) ;)
Post by: EHM-1829 Trevor on April 09, 2012, 01:41:40 pm
Cheers :)
Thanks to the folks in the "M"Team for the entertaining intro to the new event and
contriving up the clues, ;D
