Well, SW have been busy today! :wink:

Not only has "The Riddle of the Kings" been issued while they're setting up at the Tutankhamun exhibition but we also have another free ISIS I to search for. :D

Well I just return from a trip to London, (and knowing that Puzz is in London at the O2) sitting on the train to Waterloo. What do I see out of the window? :D :lol:

Yes the Millennium Wheel, it's twice as high as Nelson column and it takes 10 minutes to get to the top!..

Remembering the photo from this morning as being a round metal ring thingy, I spy the ornate lamp columns. A cast iron twin fish, statue with a column and light on top.

There are about 20 of them near the wheel, so I start to check them out one by one, there are a couple of very neat little hiding places behind the fins of the fish. Just when I thought I wasting my time................................................................................a Coin!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I had found it!!. :D ...............but giving it quick clean it turned out to be

Lodgecrest, the wheel is more than twice the height (135m vs 50ish) and takes 30 minutes per rotation. At least you got something for your troubles,

My first thought was a mine, all the ones I can find close enough to me with a working shaft you have to pay to visit. :(

Big Ben is exactly twice the height of Nelsons column and built of similar stone but I can

Somehow, I think the idea of someone hiding a small plastic bag in the vicinity of Parliament Buildings is going to end up with someone being carted away in the back of a police van.

I'm pretty sure I have the location for this, but it's too far for me at the moment. However, I will be in that neck of the woods at Christmas, so if it's still there then....

:twisted:

the london eye takes 30 mins to go round so there for it would take 15 min to get to top

30 minutes? Is that all? It felt like forever when I was going around in the rain!

Anyway, I'm not sure what people mean by the black lines being railings, but if you manipulate it slightly in Photoshop it looks outstandingly like the top part of an Ankh, carved into stone or wood :-)

And no, I have no idea where this is.

umm it looks like a tree in the background to me and the black parts look like railings.

I'm thinking is there a hill somewhere that is twice the height of nelsons column with a park or monument on top? look at heights above sea levels.

10mins seems like its trying to imply that its not that far ie it may not be high but its twice as high as nelsons column is but above sea level not ground level. Look at world records for people running up hills/monuments maybe??? I live near somewhere called 'Jacobs ladder' (gimegasaurus set of steps) is there anything else like that anywhere?

just ideas

Has everyone given up on this one? I also had the idea about the picture being of railings, but my brain is having too much trouble trying to make any sense of it.

Oh well, hopefully some more December clues will be near me... and therefore easier to figure out :P

I think I know where this is - unfortunately, the website for the place has no email addresses on it. If I'm right, we only have until the 23rd to find it - after that, it will have to be next year.
