Our debate with Monika about what to do over the upcoming weekend stretched late into Friday evening. On the table were our well-worn, time-tested favorites: Kąty Rybackie, Rewa, or Kaszuby. And since this weekend was likely our last opportunity in May to get the kayaks on the water in Kaszuby, we went with that exact direction.
Saturday morning was all about quick packing: tossing the kayaks onto the roof rack, and before noon we had already arrived at Lake Raduńskie Dolne - one of the many lakes along the scenic Raduńskie Circle route.
A spontaneous May weekend at Lake Raduńskie Dolne - paddling the Raduńskie Circle, camping in absolute silence at Kitowscy, and watching Eurovision by the fire.
With the weather forecast looking fantastic for both Saturday and Sunday, we stayed overnight at the nearby Pole Campingowe Kitowscy. We found everything we came looking for: absolute silence (we had almost the entire campsite to ourselves), total calm, and hammocks strung up with an open view over the lake.
The initial plan for the evening was to sit around the campfire and gaze up at the night sky. However, an overcast sky rolled in and hid every single star. So, warming our feet by the fire, we ended up streaming even brighter “stars” on a smartphone screen instead: Eurovision. It was weird and brilliant at the same time.
Sunday offered another great chance to paddle - the water had flattened out and was much calmer than the day before. Once back home, we compressed the entire weekend into a one-minute clip so we can revisit it years down the line. And since a personal blog functions just like that digital journal, here it is. Perhaps the pristine water of Lake Raduńskie will tempt someone else to set off for Kaszuby.
