Any sub £400 MTB bargains around?

[cjb]

My partner has expressed an interest in coming riding with me and wants a first bike. I don't want to spend a great deal (as I do on my own bikes, of course!) in case it turns out she doesn't take to the sport. The riding we will be doing will be on grassy/stoney pennine tracks rather than rocky downhills. I'm therefore looking to spend under £400 and have seen this, which seems like a reasonable deal:

Any advice on this or suitable alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

A friend of mine has the Hardrock and has no complaints. I have just recently brought the RockHopper and it is perfect for my needs; single track XC stuff. Spesh do pretty decent entry level hardtails.

Take a look at Decathlon Rock Riders. Also the Carrera Vengeance - got one for my son and it was a cracker at £330.

Thanks, Julie, but you're a little too far away, I'm afraid.
