Cool, as far as i can see most of the roads are either unnamed, or
named fixme, I see what i can do.

The roads are pretty good, even when there's a lot of snow. They
simply haven't got that many to clean up :P

That would be a blast, Since Im Primarily going to Andorra for the
ski-ing, I'll have to fit the mapping around that and drinking in the
pubs but still.

I think I might even be able to persuade the others in having one or
two guests in the apartment for a day or two just to make the mapping
happen a bit faster,
Obviously flying in would be a bit unhandy, since then you could only
making traces by walking or cab.

You can always pick up the area's we couldn't do or get to.
