I wish there were 227 Munros in Scotland (A gap year for the grounded: 15 ideas for young British adventurers, 12 June). Then there would only be 31 left for me to do and I might have a chance of finishing them. I would miss out on 55 lovely mountains (Visit Scotland says there are 282 Munros). Whoever in the Scottish Mountaineering Club decides to demote particular ones has a warped sense of humour. You can remember the names and their meanings, gaining a short course in beginners’ Gaelic.
