About this word search

Summer camping is a Kiwi tradition, from big holiday parks with a pool to simple DOC campsites with a long drop and a view. Many families go back to the same campground every year and know the people in the next tent. Bring bug spray, because sandflies on the West Coast and in Fiordland bite at dusk.

The grid is fourteen by fourteen and words run across, down and diagonally, never backwards. Marshmallows is the longest with twelve letters, followed by Sleeping bag and Air mattress with eleven. Tent, Pegs and Tarp have only four letters and hide well. Look for the Z in Gazebo, the Y in Billy and Bug spray, and the double L in Billy, Pillow, Mallet and Marshmallows. Two-word names like Gas cooker and Camp chairs run together without a space.

Bring the sheet along for the hour when the rain drums on the tent. Or use it before you leave as a packing list and tick each word once it is in the car.
