You could always go Old School and pick up an Enduro SL S-Works frame?
Ditch the horrible AFR shock and stupid DC forks and it makes a sweet ride. Comes in at 30lbs with Vengeance forks, dropper and M4 brakes - as well as nothing else light too - frame is 5.5lb iirc

I also ride/live in the Peaks/Pennines and will be doing the Trans Provence this year on my Liteville 301. I only have this bike (and a rigid hardtail for commuting) and find that the Liteville is a good compromise / allrounder bike for trail riding in hilly places. Choice of 140 and 160mm rockers, new Pike and monarch shocks (better than Fox that I previously had). 1x 10 gearing, decent tubeless wheels etc. Light enough for big rides and lots of climbing and comfortable on rocky, technical downhill. Very well built frame. Simple & clutter free. At about 5 foot 10 the only real issue I had was with sizing. Medium was too small with a short stem and inline seatpost. Large is better.
