Retired couple Stephen, 61, and Viv, 65, from Rutland, are this year's oldest racers embarking on a quest for one last thrilling adventure before they ‘dribble into old age’. Last year a celebrity spin off saw weather presenter Alex Beresford and his father Noel win the race from Marrakesh, Morocco to Tromsø, Norway.
