Exactly. The kid is more or less 16, I went away myself around that age. Sounds great. Good on her. I read an interview with her and it was very switched on, talked about real risks to young adults.
To be honest the only error Alsopp has made is mentioning it in social media. If she'd kept her mouth shut her son would have had a great trip with no problems. FYI I would happily let my 15yo do a similar trip
With you on that. I did it, i would let my kids do it.
Most of the twats complaining would probably (i assume...) let their kids drive cars at age 17 (as would i), which i suspect is a far more risky experience
