 Hesketh-Prichard first visited Atlantic Canada in August 1903, travelling up the coasts of Labrador and Newfoundland, and donating the heads of stags he had shot to the Newfoundland Exhibition then in London.He returned in October 1904, this time with his mother, and the cricketer Teddy Wynyard.His most ambitious trip to the region was however in July 1910, when he undertook to explore the interior of Labrador, saying "it seemed to us a pity that such a "terra incognita" should continue to exist under the British flag".
