Sheffield
Riding in the peaks is different to riding in Surrey. I'd be tempted towards Dammit's advice of the rowdyer end of trail - so maybe the Murmur or the Jeht.
I'm up visiting a friend as I type this, and we went for a loop at Lady Cannings (flow trail) but then popped off a loop round Blackamore and the Devils Elbow. The rocks are real through there - so 140mm rear would be closer to ideal I think. I survived on the hardtail, but keeping up with my mate on his Kona Process somethingorother was not happening.
V kind of both you and @dammit but I’m in Sheffield’s slightly less famous Sheffield, so probably a bit of a journey for it.
