Dave Gorman rides his way in Lancaster at The Grand

Comedian Dave Gorman rode into town (literally) yesterday to entertain Lancaster Morecambe Etc. and 450 odd other punters at Lancaster's Grand. Cycling between venues, Dave spent an epic two and a half hours regaling tales of posted keys, book tours and the evolution of the honey monster! I can't say much more as he promised us not too! Lancaster was day 17 and after 880 miles in the saddle, he was looking surprisingly chipper. You can check out the blog of his tour so far at http://gormano.blogspot.com/ We wish him all the best on the rest of his tour...
