I was asked by the Pork Lovers Tour to go over and see what all the fuss was about so hopped on a train earlier today to investigate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It didn&#8217;t take long to spot the large, brightly coloured bus in the centre of town and be invited inside while being handed a comedy snout on a stick that I may, or may not, take a selfie with at some point. The bus is kitted out with a cooking area and a variety of activities to sample for both kids and adults. I&#8217;ll go into more depth about what I got up to on the bus in a future post when I&#8217;ve a little more time but I definitely recommend getting yourself along to check it out while you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today is the last day that you can find the bus in Leeds before it heads to Manchester for a two day stint tomorrow prior to making it&#8217;s way back onto the continent. Having already covered London, Sheffield and Edinburgh you can&#8217;t accuse these guys of skimping on the distance while completing the UK leg of their tour!
