Trans Pennine Trail Commemorative Stone

The stone marks the occasion and the fact that, at this place on 17th July 1996, the Trans Pennine Trail was opened as the first ever British section of a European Long Distance Footpath - no. 8 (E8). It's a shame that the local scroats have defaced it and the Trail custodians have not maintained it.
