Symbol on Tree in Top Picture Did you notice our favorite symbol on the tree in the lower right of Topmost picture? Not linkable, but nifty. Is there such a marked tree somewhere on Earth?

The hotspots There are 26 Hotspots in a grid. When clicked, they add a symbol at the bottom of the screen, as if typing in a password. Then, if you click the Door, it appears to link to a new page using the info typed in via the 26 spots. I tried "Starpower" (using A1, B2 substitution), no luck.
Any thoughts?

I've got it!
Clicking on the hotspots, using a QWERTY keyboard, click on the following letters:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
thirdpower
Which leads you to this page:

Dont know if its usefull but it talks about Cessation at the bottom of the page. Its something to do with tobacco and may/may not be relevent. also, dont yer think the woods looks like Monicas picture? (The start of the trail)
As for keywords, are we talking Recada (Keyword) or is there one hidden on each page. Methinks its time to go back to the start and work this through.

So from all the receda websites we have the keywords:
Resorts
Sign
Approach
Revenge
School
Music
and the mystery 7th world which will be revealed on 22 October

I thought the exact same thing about monica's picture. The website also mentions forests and ancient ruins at the resort, does this sound to anyone else a bit like viendenbourg?

And these are ment to make a link. Also, note how it says Resorts is to throw us of track. Im still got some idea on the itallic'd Cessation. Might be wrong but hey.
also, im not 100% sure about school and music. One site, one word. However, there is the sleep line...
Updte: Cessatation is: A bringing or coming to an end; a ceasing: a cessation of hostilities. Kinda obvious but still could be a clue. Part of the end. End of the trail, or something bigger?

Good work on the solve, Hunting4Treasure.
I'd also like to recognize the fact that had Tanner not realized the buttons are supposed to be a QWERTY keyboard, we would probably be working on this for another week or so (we were under the assumption that 1-26 = A - Z. well, at least I was).

Also, let's not forget the Receda Institute for Somnatherapy. I agree that it can't be School and Music. I think Therapy or Somnatherapy might be one of the keywords.

Approach
Sign
Institute/Sleep/Therapy/Somnatherapy
School/Music
Revenge
Resorts
Perhaps taking a first letter of each? Time to play around with anagram machines I cant imagine www.Approachsigntherapyschoolrevengeresorts.com
Edit:
Also, London is pretty big. Weve gotta intecepet the first and second party and they could be anywhere at any time of day.

Thanks, Spankit!
And a big thanks to Tanner for leading us to the correct decoding device!
You're right, Spankit... I was first thinking 1-26 = A-Z, but that would be too easy... LOL

I think deciding on the correct keywords is going to be a puzzle in itself... Receda's Revenge could be Sortails, Flaganroth or even Sock Puppet, for all we know.
