The Royal Family released a video in which The Countess of Wessex is speaking about her Diamond Jubilee Challenge for The Duke of Edinburgh's Award. The Countess will cycle the 445 miles from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to Buckingham Palace on behalf of The Award in its 60th year. The Countess, and her cycling team, will set off on from Edinburgh on Monday 19th September and arrive in London on Sunday 25th September.

In the video, Sophie speaks about her training - HRH is currently able to cycle 60 miles (99,5 km) in one go, which is an amazing achievment. The Countess also describes a team of six people (all experienced cyclists) that is supporting her every step of the way. The team includes representatives from four of HRH's regiments; RAF Wittering; 5 Rifles; Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps and Corps of Army Music. Also representatives from the Army Physical Training Corps and Boardman bikes.

Sophie will be cycling in a small pelleton with her team, that is providing a bit of windshield, a lot of chat to distract The Countess and a lot of encouregement up the hills. The Countess also explains why she has taken up this particular challenge. If you would like to learn more, you will find all the info in my posts, to read them all, click here. Royal Family's post can be found here. I am keeping my fingers crossed for HRH, it is an incredible challenge that requires a lot of strength and stamina both mentally and physically.
If you would like to donate money to support HRH's challenge, you can do so under this link. The Countess has already raised £64,885! Congrats!
