Lochnagar Crater

The final stop of the day saw us view the Lochnagar Crater. Dug by British Engineers and miners, it was right on the German front line. The explosives were detonated on the first day of the British attack on the 1st July 1916. In an explosion which could be heard back in Britain, it threw debris over 4,000 feet into the air....

That viewed, we are venturing back to the hotel for dinner and bowling this evening.
