I have approx £600-£700 to spend on a new bike

Im looking for a hardtail to do some off roading and some on road biking, I looked at hybrids but would prefer to stick with a MTB.

I owned a GT a long time ago and found it excellent but was second hand. I like the brand so was looking at the Avalanche 1.0 2011, its nicely in my price bracket and I can get a decent sized discount on GT's through a friend.

I just wanted some advice to whether this is a good bike for what I want and for the price and if not what should I be looking for?

Any and all advice is appreciated.
