About the game
Sequel to Backpacks and Blisters (q.v.) This time you are winter walking in the southern lakes from Ambleside. In addition to Blisters, Chocolate and IT, you also get the Ice Axe, Rope, Winter Warmer, Crampons, Compass and First Aid Kit. Oh, and instead of Sun or Rain, it is either Fine, Poor Visibility, Snow or Blizzard. This is another game that will give you a taste of what walking is all about - but without any of those unpleasant side-effects - such as actually having to go and do it..!!
