August weekend.
This time I changed the packraft and large wheels of the roadster for two bicycle wheels.
Objective: the area designated for the program, spend the night in a forest about 30 km from my place of residence. The whole 1700 hectares of forest surrounding a picturesque lake, with a designated place for a bonfire.
A solo trip, all the necessary stuff packed in bicycle panniers, the temperature during the day is still comfortable - approx. 22-24 degrees. I made it before the coming heat. The temperature at night is 8-10 degrees, which is enough to sleep comfortably in a sleeping bag.
Originally it was supposed to be a hammock and a tarp... but as I get older I'm getting more and more comfortable and I took a mink tent. As for me, the ideal for trips where the transport of luggage depends on muscle strength.
The road led through picturesque areas, first fields where the harvest is already taking place, meadows and finally the target forest.
The place where I originally wanted to spend the night was unfortunately already occupied by anglers who camped there, so I moved a few hundred meters further to a place that used to be a beach.
A gentleman met on a quad told me that in this place, years ago, there used to be quite a large and sandy beach, with a pier, toilets, etc... Now the only trace of it are the remains of old beams in the reeds.
The place was quiet and peaceful, only the sounds of nature could be heard. Perfect for relaxing and recharging your batteries.
It turned out that also rich in mushrooms, my supper was spiced up with butternut squash and a beautiful boletus.
