Charlie Ramsay & Blyth Wright meet

Blyth Wright and Philip Tranter collectively planned and put together what is now known as Tranters Round. Blyth also accompanied Philip for most of the journey before returning to their rendezvous point in Glen Nevis. After over 30 years of sporadic phone calls, letters and e-mail communication, Charlie finally caught up with Blyth at his home in Aviemore in November 2008, where they shared an interesting, informative and enjoyable afternoon reflecting on big days in the mountains of Scotland.

Sadly, after a long illness, Blyth passed away on Sunday 24th May 2009. He will be remembered for his invaluable knowledge and expertise in avalanche forecasting and relentless work towards safety in the Scottish mountains.
