High Quality Family Tents from Wynnster

Posted on September 28th, 2009 — in Adventure Stuff, Savvy Product Infos, World Of Leisure

Wynnster was first established in 1934 as a tent manufacturing company. They carry a legacy of quality and functionality in their products made for outdoor activities. It has since then created a niche for itself in the tents market, with touring tents, family tents and a range of other tent accessories. Wynnster products are designed to make your outdoor experience both comfortable and hassle-free.

In 2006, Wynnster merged with Eurotech Leisure, which broadened the range of products offered by the company. While adding innovative designs to Wynnster’s range of products, Eurotech has also retained the core values of quality and affordability that personify the Wynnster brand.

Wynnster tents come with a number of great features in each tent. Instructions are sewn into the tent to make sure that the user is never lost when trying to set up or take down a tent. In addition, features like heat sealed seams and polyurethane flysheets ensure proper waterproofing. Every tent comes with a carry bag, which has compression straps built into it, to make the package as small as possible and easy to carry.

Wynnster’s most well-known product is the Rook. With four bedrooms to comfortably house eight people, the tent is spacious yet lightweight. With groundsheets made of polyurethane and flysheet made of fire-retardant 185 D taffeta polyester, the tent is completely waterproof. It is easy to pitch, primarily due to its superflex colour-coded fibreglass poles.

Wynnster tents are available at retailers across the world. Alternatively, you can also buy them online at a number of e-stores.

The Sounds of Jamaica

Posted on June 12th, 2009 — in Adventure Stuff, Lots Of Travel Resources


Jamaica is the sparkling jewel in the Caribbean crown. It is the land of endless beaches, rolling surf, and bright sun. It is also known for its heart-rending music. Slaves from Africa were bought to work in British-owned sugar plantations. These people brought in their culture, religious beliefs, language, and music with them. Their saga portraying their hardships and the struggle for freedom is expressed in their songs.

Incorporated into the daily lifestyle, folk songs reverberate everywhere on this Caribbean island. A pot pourri of mento, blues, reggae, dancehall, African soul, blues and rhythm, rock and roll, and fusion music can be heard in bars, clubs, restaurants, and hotels throughout Jamaica.

Calypso music, native to Trinidad, a neighboring island in the Caribbean Sea, is a blend of African beats and European rhythm. Once banned because its lyrics contained political overtures, it is played on string instruments to the accompaniment of drums, and is today an integral part of Jamaica’s music scene. Harry Belafonte made Calypso international with “Day-O” from the Banana Boat Song.

Bob Marley, famous for his soul searching renditions and revered as the “Father of Reggae,” was born in the Caribbean coastal town of St. Ann in Jamaica. It was he who revolutionized local folk music and introduced the sounds of reggae to the world.

Visitors and music lovers planning a trip to the Caribbean should include Jamaica in their itinerary as it plays host to a number of music fests. The annual Heritage Fest in fall showcases the diverse culture of this island nation through its music, dance, multi-cuisine food, and festivities. International Reggae Day is celebrated in with great pomp and ceremony with live TV and internet telecasts. The whole country, residents and international visitors alike, takes part in this carnival to pay tribute to Bob Marley, the Reggae King, with live concerts, talent shows, music contests, and workshops.
