The Grey Nomads - General

We've been on the road now for just on 18 months, and do a bit of house sitting along the way to mix up our travels, get a feel for a particular area and also it prevents cabin fever being in the van 24/7! I'm guessing we've been pretty "lucky" up to this point, as it seems we've managed, (without r...

Anyway, seems a lot are free camping ( ideally, that is what we wish to do) so that will save on camp site fees. I also realise the less you travel around...

This gravity powered light was designed to provide a cheap power source for Third World nations. I assume it could also have camping and caravan applications. Interesting in either case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7aCvf2MQmM

How many grey nomads are there? What about blue rinse nomads? Or bald nomads? Or white (like me) nomads? Or Grecian 2000 nomads? Variety is the spice of life, ya know. Grey schmey.
