Hi Frank
I'm a wee bit south of you in flat Hertfordshire. Actually that's not quite true, it's not totally flat, I live on a hill at altitude 109m and the river valley is way down below at 60m. Years ago when I bought a duff used car that wouldn't start in the mornings (car was parked in the open at the end of the garden next to a field) the duff garage said it was because 'the wind was whipping across the prairie-like high ground plateau'. They don't know what real weather is like, they've obviously not been to Scotland. Anyway, I digress.
Welcome to the site, 83 Munros is a great haul so just keep chipping away and enjoy. Besides, it's being on the mountains that's most important, not just the number bagged. Like you, distance from Scotland is a problem for me so not so easy to get there regularly. My plan is to move there when the kids have left home (2 kids, will get rid of one in a year and the other will be booted out 2 years after). Then the way will be clear. However, I haven't gone through this plan with my wife yet (she likes mountains and walking but likes a bit of warmth as well, we look at the UK weather forecast regularly and the overall picture isn't great for my plan where warmth averages are concerned). A bit of work to do there I fear.
Probably not until January that I'll be in Scotland next, can't wait!
Cheers
