Hi everybody, I'v just bought a mountain bike as I'm getting bored of goin to the gym for fitness. Never been off roading before but really fancy trying it out . Can any one recommend a good route around Broxbourne/Hertford Heath for a complete novice.

Welcome, I live in Cheshunt and do Broxbourne woods a lot.

Here's a route I do weather permitting, although it's a bit of a nettle/bramble fest for portions of this route, but you should be able to piece together some ok rides though.

Welcome Kev,

i live between WGC and Hertford and been around Broxbourne woods alot last year , not so much this year due to the weather and bike problems.
but there are some nice tracks there which a complete novice can do to learn about the joys of mud. one word of warning you can hear the Lions from the Zoo in there which i learnt on a night ride in there , ive never pedaled so hard and fast in my life :)

as Mooh said its a bit of Nettle/bramble fest on the out the way single track.
once my rear brake decides to free it self i be happy to have a ride there with you or anyone else...

Steve
