Yurts, a step on from Tipis.

The Welsh Tourist board has been using an idyllic image of a yurt on a welsh beach.

Yurts, like tipis, are tents from an earlier time in man’s evolution of shelter. Yurts though have an advantage over the tipi for the modern family holiday. They are more spacious with better standing room across the tents whole floorspace. And the tipis best feature, it’s spiral spread of poles are best viewed and not covered with a rain catcher, which can work against people wanting dry tents. Yurts features are always viewed with no draughts and a curvasceous wood beamed roof.

Over The Moon will be offering a larger range of hard wood hand crafted yurts for hire & sale in 2011. We will be updating the yurt pages soon with the product specs.

We're Going To The Zoo

Over The Moon Tent’s were braving the rush hour hordes and crawling our way into the centre of our capital city this morning. We were putting up a Yurt for the forthcoming Winter Wonderland feature which runs from the 18-24th at London Zoo, Regent Park.

After the horrible wet weather of late we were blessed with a mild sunny day.

Joke from The Jester

Over The Moon’s crew has a Jester to keep it entertained and spirits up when working the long summer days. The Jester provided a lovely tent related joke for us this week.

A man pays a visit to his doctor and tells him,

“On Monday night I dreamt I was a Tipi, and then on tuesday night I dreamt I was a Yurt.”

“Hmm”, said the doctor pondering the meaning of these dreams. Then he exclaimed, ” Don’t worry, you are just Too Tense”.
