I recall the day ( 7 years ago ) when I became the owner of a 89 Nissan Patrol, And now, with more than 500,000 k's on the clock, it is still banging along, the old girl gets an oil and filter change every 5000 k and just keeps on going, I don't know how many times I've heard people say, " I had one of those, wish I'...

Hi all. I have been told by a few Nomads that if there are no signs on free camp spots regarding grey water that it is okay to discharge on trees etc. As long as you don't mess up areas where vans etc will park. Any thoughts to the negative ?
