Britain's Prince William rescued a female rider who fell into difficulties on his charity motorcycle ride yesterday (20.10.08).
The royal - who is taking part in the 1,000-mile ride across South Africa alongside his brother Prince Harry - stopped to help the woman after she started to fall behind the rest of the team as they struggled to ride up a steep gorge.
William rode her heavy bike to the peak before walking back to collect his own.
The group then continued on the rest of the eight-hour trek without incident and were the first team to reach their hotel beside the Indian Ocean in Transkei.
Prince Harry added he was looking forward to spending time with his brother, and to raising money for charity.He said:
The princes - who are raising money for several charities including the Sentebale fund, which Harry founded to help children with HIV in Lesotho - began the rally on Saturday (18.10.08) and are riding in a team of 10, including a police bodyguard and Harry's girlfriend Chelsy Davy's brother Shaun.
Before they set off, Prince William predicted: "We'll both fall off lots off times, I can tell you now. We both ride bikes at the moment on the road, but on-road biking is nothing compared to this."
Prince Harry added he was looking forward to spending time with his brother, and to raising money for charity.
