Lets Go Camping


Written by Sarah & Lee; published by AA & Random House, 2009.

We wrote this book over the summer of 2008/2009, during a 20,000-kilometre epic where we tented from Cape Reinga to Bluff. Okay, maybe not quite Bluff…

‘When the weather is fine, nothing beats a holiday in a tent. When it rains or blows, it can be the last place you want to be. Let’s Go Camping brings back the enthusiasm. Sarah Bennett and Lee Slater made me want to pack the car to bursting point and head off…’ Tom Cardy, Dominion Post

‘As kids, we never went camping and, even now that I have my own family I never considered it – until I read your article, The Renaissance of Camping. Sarah Bennett’s arguments for indulging in this Kiwi tradition left me running off to a sports shop to pick up a tent for our family for Christmas instead of the usual toys and things that break in just a few days. We live in such a beautiful country and I feel like I’ve missed out on exploring it via camping. Now I can’t wait to get out there and experience it first hand, and to reconnect with our environment on a more personal level. Anthea Walford, Hastings, from the letters page of Next magazine
