Any comments/criticisms on these? I didn't push the processing too far, it was a clear night way up in the mountains.

Good work! Your processing is just fine, too. Some of the images in this thread are way over-processed, IMO, so that they venture into the surreal. Yours are just right. The skill is to know when to stop.

A bit faint, light levels weren't perfect, but liked the location anyway.

Milky Way 2nd attempt by Simon Clarkson Photography, on Flickr

Regrds

There are one or two darker places if you travel out a little bit. Maybe Tunbridge Wells way looks not bad.

And you'll have a better chance if the MW is facing east/west as you'll have less pollution in that direction. Google for Stellarium for when that's likely to be.

You might be able to pull a bit more out of your picture with post processing but yes us southerners (I'm in Oxford) have a tough one on places nearby that are easy to get to and give you a half a chance of a decent picture.
