what about Aviemore?

Jo, assuming one gives Motherwell 3, Aviemore rates about 7.

Compared to Slough it's pretty good!

The main tourist sport in Aviemore is separating the tourist from his money! ... and it's an all-
year sport. In winters when there is good snow there is good skiing and boarding about but it is
best to avoid the overcrowded slopes if possible. Too often the snow is scrubbed down by overuse to
leave icy patches and granite grit. The shape of the hills round the 'developed' ski area also leads
to frequent unpleasant weather even when it is a nice day lower down and it has to be really bad
before they shut down the tows. So if you are competent enough head for the Feshie hills, Braeriach,
Macdui, etc. and avoid queues.

Motherwell does not have much going for it either but given that the people are friendlier there and
Aviemore has some nice hills, I would put them both equal on 1 out of 5.

Pretty big assumption, is it not? ;-)

Too right, escape Slough and you end up in Staines Escape Avieslum and you end up in
Rothiemurchas Forest.

That would be sub-optimal for sure.

Compilation/testing break, ackcherly. While the program chunters through a few Mb of files there's
only so much productive things to do before looking at what's happened.
