Default 'privilege and ignorance' The Lady,32 that walked Canada's largest island

[Brit who claimed to be the first woman
to solo traverse Canada's largest island
is criticised for 'privilege and ignorance'
by Inuits who say the journey
'is part of their normal life']



[Her father,
Sir David Hempleman-Adams (pictured, right)
said of his daughter's expedition:
'What she's achieved is quite extraordinary]

Locals do not agree


[I am truly saddened that the coverage
of my journey may have caused concern
or upset, and I remain committed
to learning from this experience
and engaging with the community
with the utmost respect.'

She has since taken down her Instagram page.

Hempleman-Adams said following
her journey: 'It's been a really tough two weeks,
but an incredible two weeks.
'I'm feeling pretty exhausted, I have very sore feet,
but it's nice to be back in civilisation.']
