This place (a wooden fort cum trading post) figured in our plans 30 years ago. We organised a weekend there in late October. It was a hang out for Buckskinners - you would pay a camp fee and there would be trading and axe throwing etc. They had about 8 weekends a year. The owner had a Western clothing shop in Southampton. He sold things like tomahawks and also beer. So we arranged to have a get together in late October. There was a good woodland there but because of the neighbours you couldn't fire muskets. We put posters up there as there was people with F&I kit who were regular visitors.
