I tried destegging the pictures Robbie posted on the Facebook group, but I not sure what the password would be. I'm not sure if there's anything there, but its worth a shot.

I can't see an image when I click through for some reason.

I found this online;

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44365000/gif/_44365809_heathrow_flight_paths416.gif

It shows the flight paths planes take coming into Heathrow, and places the house in perfect east-west alignment from Heathrow, a little way south of Ealing and White City.

I can't imagine how Big Ben would be heard out there (did someone definitely mention it? I don't remember seeing it), I don't ever remember hearing it personally unless I'm pretty close, it would make more sense for them to be a little north of Stockwell, roughly the closest the flightpaths get to Big Ben.

Many rooms on 3 floors, only one unlocked... Bedroom. Fell asleep there, by my calculations it's around five after midnight now; I heard Big Ben about 5 minutes ago.

The kitchen is in the 'Main house' or as it's known the "Lif3-House" This is a 'secondary' house if you think of it like that?


Interesting.

Ah!

Well if the clues are accurate then I'd have to say Stockwell or Lambeth kind of area, it's right under flight paths and straight down the River Thames from Big Ben, so the sound would really carry down over the water in a silent city at night, I'd be amazed if you could hear it in Ealing.

Ack! Someone who knows the geography of the area! Sweet!

I sent an email to them on the subject:

Hey Lance, Shawn and Maria, question; Can you see the River Thames outside and of the windows or around the house? Can you see any landmarks? Like street signs? Big Ben? River? Other buildings with identifiable markings?? Thanks I'm going to send this email to everyone.

Awaiting replies...

Was reading through this as I was surprised to find something uk based, but can I just say I live in the north of london, highbury actually and if I listen closely at the top of my block at the right times [top of the hour obviously] i can hear big ben and it takes me a good 25 minutes by bus to get to the waterloo area.

but you can travel from ealing to the same area in about 10 minutes by bus, plus ealing is west of big ben whereas I am north of it, so that could say something too.

Lance,

When you hear Big Ben, does it sound loud or soft to you? A friend of
mine who lives in the UK says that Big Ben can only be heard from 4.5
miles away, depending on wind direction. Also, that the plane you keep
hearing could be coming from Heathrow Airport.

what the hell? no more emails? so, now what? "remaining contestants" sounds bad. Maybe Shawn never answered my email because they all died...? I wonder what exactly "equals 16"....

Well if no more email, we MAY still have Robbie and Maria on the out side!

Emailed Robbie via his personal Facebook:
Quote:
Hey Robbie, it's Ari/Brave777. Are you receiving this? All communication got cut off with the Lif3 house emails, but all the doors have been unlatched, we think, both due to Section XII. I'm going to try Maria's blog too, see if we can get in touch with her. This is a test to see if its all email to London or just the Lif3 house. Thanks!


New blog from (oops)Diane!! She's with Robbie. I posted a comment with an update and questions for her.
