Well as this is down the road for me and Fezzyben we thought we'd get the cameras out and have a mooch around the exterior of the Fauld crater to see what there was to see, I won't go into the history as most of you know it, those that don't can Google it!

Using the "tripod held at full extension and self timer" method we saw that this was some form of vent shaft, filled in at ground level, Fezzyben has a better pic

The memorial, we spent a thoughtful few minutes here.
 
Im confused..the title says 'not crater' what exactly does that mean? And what is this then if not the crater?
 
I meant, we didn't go down into the crater, as in the final resting place of many people! Just......around it!
