William & Harry To Go Into Africa PDF Print E-mail
Written by Joanne Leyland   
Wednesday, 08 October 2008
Clarence House has announced that Prince William and Prince Harry will travel to South Africa this month to take part in a real boy’s own dream: an off-road motorcycle rally.

The race, which will take place in the same month as the princes’ attend the premiere of the latest James Bond movie, will raise funds for charity.

These are UNICEF, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund and Prince Harry’s own organisation, Sentable.




Announcing details of the trip, organiser Simon Smith explained that this will be no easy ride for the princes, saying: "It’s going to be one of the hardest and most demanding things they will ever have done in their lives and at night they are going to struggle to get off their bikes as the pain will be so bad."

"At times they will be sitting on their bikes looking up at a 60 degree slope wondering how the hell they are going to get up it – not even realising there is a deep river crossing to get through on the other side. It is a very dangerous route and they will undoubtedly collect a fair few bumps and bruises along the way."

The princes and all other participants have donated a minimum of £1,500 to take part in the once-in-a-lifetime adventure organised by Enduro Africa.

It's hoped the trip will ultimately raise around £300,000 for charity.

I didn't think they could get permission to do this. How much will it cost? Why don't they just give the charity the money and volunteer ir a soup kitchen or volunteer to check bikes for safety at a bikeathon.
