if you are only gonna be doing forest trails then a XC hardtail will be good enough. you need to be spending at least £500 if you are wanting something half decent.

I used to be well in to my biking until I was about 16, would love to get back in to it but none of my mates are that interested anymore and I cant talk them in to it! 
And cant go on my own

What sort of a decent bike/set-up could i buy myself for around the £600 mark?
Im not very knowledgeable when it comes to bicycles
I would be using it alot for travelling to work and every week or so going for rides in the forrest/woods etc.
