That Summer by Simon Calder
We have all experienced a summer that was more passionate, more wild or more bizarre than any other - when a journey turned our thinking on its head and the world exploded with new meaning and excitement. This may have been at a pop festival in the early 70s, amidst the patchouli oil and loon pants, or on a family holiday in a caravan in Tenby, where it never stopped raining and there was nettle soup for tea - every day. Maybe you were stuck on the Pakistani border in 6000-mile journey in a Morris Traveller, or hanging out with French teenagers on a school exchange holiday in the 80s, selected the best stories from the Independent's 'That Summer' column - now in it's tenth year - along with fifteen newly commissioned pieces to celebrate the column's first decade. This is a book for anyone who has ever been on, dreamed of, or wanted to explore the open road - or the back of a camper van in Gunzburg.
