HI, new to all this, both the forum and MTB. Can anyone recommend places to ride in and around Durham? I currently go to Hamsterley Forest once every couple of weeks but it's an hour away and i have to find babysitting. It would be much easier if i could fins somewhere nearby that i could go through the week.

many thanks
:)
