Yes, my best bet would have to be Venice, indeed. I agree with D.

Eric-Jan, I don't think you are licensed to bet on something you already know  8)

Ok, we're getting near to the end of our secret hint mission now so after the last picture, which was indeed Venice, we move onto an altogether more dangerous and challenging area and its associated sport - really exciting to watch or even take part if you can handle the pace but not for the faint hearted or it might frighten the living daylights out of you!

So strap on your skis (and maybe a parachute) for HINT NUMBER EIGHT:-

This is Venice, Italy. Still don't see a connection though...

Definitely not Venice Des ;)

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

No guesses at all about hint #8? Everyone is just waiting for hint #9 in order to try another day?

Afraid not David - hint 8 is closer to an EHM Hub - it's the Swiss Alps near to Sion. I hear there's a lovely revolving restaurant up in the mountains there ;)

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 ;)

Bond. James Bond. Yes.

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
       T  ;D

Congratulations Mr Bolton (or "T") - you have correctly identified the theme for the Event as well as the Rock of Gibraltar in that last picture. And now I shall cut you into pieces with my super powerful laser for your trouble!!! (Cue evil laughter...)

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 ;)

So hint number 10 is no longer necessary but here it is anyway:-


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 and sign up on the front page of the site ;)

For those who considered the MT postings in this thread as sometimes bizarre (or just harmless, which would be worse): now that the theme has been revealed, we will highlight the hidden clues in these postings.

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

Pretty cool treasure hunt for that tour theme :D

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

@ Mariano - By the end of the event you'll know all the Bond film plots perfectly  ;D Glad you enjoyed the hunt!

@ 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) ;)
