**Hartlepool** (born 34,344 BCE) is an English womble who currently resides at the Margate Burrow, where he serves as a burrow elder. He was born at the Margate Burrow in 34,344 BCE and, at the age of twenty, in 34,324 BCE, became a travelling womble and left his home burrow. Hartlepool travelled across England, visiting several burrows including the Newcastle Burrow, the Birmingham Burrow and the Maidstone Burrow. He subsequently travelled throughout Europe, visiting France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Finland and Norway. Following his travels in Europe, Hartlepool returned to the British Isles, where he visited Scotland, Wales and Ireland, before eventually returning to Margate in 34,286 BCE. Hartlepool remained at the Margate Burrow for sixteen years, in which time he was visited by the explorer and time traveller Tomsk, but in 34,270 BCE, he once again departed to travel the world. Hartlepool returned to mainland Europe before crossing into Africa, where he would spend the next twenty years. He trekked across Africa, until he eventually reached the Cape of Good Hope, after which turned back north. After several years of travelling, he reached Arabia, where he stay for another five years. He then travelled east to Asia, eventually reaching China by 34,253 BCE. Hartlepool remained in Asia for twenty years, in which time he explored several countries, including Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Bhutan and Tibet, where he climbed some mountains in the Himalayas. After his exploration of Asia, Hartlepool turned back west. He travelled through Russia and across the Eurasian Steppe, where he encountered megafauna including woolly mammoths, before eventually returning to Western Europe. In 34,223 BCE, after almost fifty years of travelling, Hartlepool finally returned to the Margate Burrow, where he was welcomed as a hero. By this time, he was over 120 years old and was subsequently regarded as a burrow elder. Hartlepool is also notable for his longevity, belonging to a small group of wombles, whose random gene mutations have allowed them to exceed a natural lifespan of 30,000 years, approximately fifty times the average lifespan of a womble.
