Solo Grey Nomads

Ossie Jan · Ossie Jan

Would anyone know of a site/forum/club/group for Grey Nomads - preferably single - actually planning to head off somewhere? Not sure if this is the group for such a thing. It would be fantastic to actually travel in a convoy with like-minded souls, one or several. Cheers Jan

I'm a bit geriatric and as I'm only 152 cm tall, would find it hard to lift that weight up onto a conventional bike rack. I don't really want to carry it inside the van (r...

Hi all I am inspired by your comments and caring on this forum. I am an avid bush camper in a pop-top hiace. To date I have been travelling with a friend, but am keen to do a few trips on my own. I am concerned about what I would do on my own if something went wrong. It might be something simple like a tick latchi...

Well, haven't I been a bad boy. My only excuse for being such a poor correspondent recently is that I've been too busy enjoying myself.
