THE Hurworth Blue Bug has struck again.
Not content with scaling the heights of the new Darlington Football Club stadium and meeting Prime Minister Tony Blair, the creature has now been spotted at the top of Scafell Pike.
The bug, owned by the Second Hurworth Guides, is on mission to meet the area's famous people and scale the region's highest peaks.
It has already met football chairman George Reynolds and sat at the top of the 18m roof at the Quakers' new stadium.
Guider Victoria Bagshaw was persuaded to climb the peak by her daughter, Nichola, 26, also a Guider, and her daughter-in-law, Liz Bagshaw, an Australian Guider, so they took the bug with them.
The Blue Bug is part of a national campaign to attract more recruits into Guiding.
