It depends on whether you want to carry all of your own gear (and how much, i.e. camping and cooking gear, or just a few clothes because you'll sleep in motels and eat in restaurants); also on whether you intend to be on paved roads or not. One example is the recently-discontinued Trek 520. They made it (with some changes over the years) for 40 years. Check it out, at least as a starting point for your thinking.

Great post. I feel the same about the trig point at Beacon Fell near Longridge, where I grew and still live. I never really spent that much time up on the fell as a kid but since getting a gravel bike a few years ago and more recently a MTB I bet there’s rarely 2 weeks between visits either on a bike or walking my dog.
