It costs you nothing, but a good deed is done :-)
The irrepressible energy brought us in August 2012 to the Vinnytsia region and we chose another place for our next "camp". It turned out to be the "Apricot" base not far from the regional center. It is important - when you call this base, you will always be told that there are places, even if at that moment there will be a congress of a political party ... And when you arrive (especially if it is dark), you will not go anywhere ...
Instead of unexpectedly busy houses, of which there are about 5-6, you will be offered a choice of a gazebo or just (!!!) a table on the lake shore, and you can choose - only one gazebo, which is located in the far right edge of the lake. We fought back for a long time - arguing that there was nowhere even a tent that we had with us. The hostess and her daughter spent a long time convincing us that it was easy to put up a tent, somewhere far away from the gazebo in a dark forest :-) (!!!) Then, for the sake of interest, we went there, but we did not find a place for a tent in that forest. As mischievous visitors, we went to explore the territory, so as not to settle for a corner gazebo ...
The territory is beautiful - three lakes in a row. Two blossomed enough, but it is possible that this is just the season. The whole life of the base takes place around the central lake with a special place for swimming. In the first photo of the reportage you can see the "master's house", where food is prepared, rental equipment is issued and drinking water is collected. Having walked around the lake - we agreed with a couple of fishermen who had already bought a gazebo - to join them, as we liked the place and there was a wonderful "window" for fishing.
Fishing - 25 hryvnia per day, fish - take it for free. Vacationers of the "Apricot" can take rental equipment - pedal boats and rafts. The price of the raft pleased - 10 hryvnia per hour. But the bicycle, of course, annoyed the fishing happiness - every couple of hours there were daredevils who definitely had to swim on the fishing rods of our coast ...
Since the shore on our side was a good slope - at night in the tent we looked like the finalists of the bobsled championship. Bodies in sleeping bags rolled down the bottom of the tent - rushing towards closer to the water. The "Apricot" bonus can be a meal to order, which will make it easier to stay in the gazebo. The hostess cooks, but you will have to wait, about an hour more than will be stated, because "You are the only one who eats with me, so wait ...". Minimizing the disadvantages - we can say that you can rest there and our rest - was a success:
The guys-fishermen from Vinnitsa to whom we "nailed" - turned out to be funny and interesting, for the first time I fried mutton on skewers and amused everyone with the evening cry "Squirrel - look, a real squirrel has come ...". Friendly squirrels and waterfowl otters visited our camp during the evening. Anyway, squirrels and otters were frequent guests near our camp in those days:
Natasha caught six kilograms of crucian carp, and before leaving we were seen off by the mischievous Vagur and Fitzko - two inseparable funny dogs who cheerfully devoured the remnants of our food and were very funny in their insistence to make friends:
The main event of the "Apricot" base was in the past: Sergey Babkin from "Pyatnitsa" came here earlier and sang several songs with a guitar. Now this is the main memory of the owners of the base. And, completing the story, a couple more photos from there: on the first - a good place for fishing.
And on the second - a tree bent to the water.
