Rutland couple in 'Race Across the World'
The latest series of Race Across The World has kicked off on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½1.
It’s where five duos have to make their own way from one destination to another, with limited cash and a paper map. Eastern Asia is this year’s route, and the five intrepid duos will battle it out in a breath-taking 15,000 kilometres race across several countries.
Stephen and Viv from Rutland are a retired couple on a quest to prove that wisdom, perspective and maturity is the winning formula. With a newfound zest for life, and in pursuit of a thrilling adventure, they are grabbing hold of life with both hands.
Stephen and Viv told Ben Jackson why they wanted to take part in the series.
Stephen: Just the sense of adventure and the fun, just the opportunity. We’d watched the series on TV, and we just thought we wanted to have a go.
