I'm in bowburn, just off the A1. That lane I'm on is on the top of hamsterley common, I go to wolsingham and there is a turn signposted for hamsterley forest, go over the bridge and climb up the bank then you bear right and follow up the road till you reach the sign that says not suitable for motor vehicles. Through the gate then keep going to next gate then the track is the one that veers off to the left. Not advisable to go alone though because some of it is challenging ( or at least it was to me ). The route drops you down into the forest and down to the water splash called the grove. After that you can follow the route up the other side and out the top, but the better option is to turn around and drive back up the same route you came down. It's tougher going back up and I did get it cross axled but got out. I watched some defenders getting stuck at the same place and they had a real go at getting out.
