Looking for some options to mix up a hiking holiday.

What do you suggest within an hour-ish's drive from Strathpeffer? To the west, northwest, or southwest - no point heading back south having gone up.

More wanting scenic adventures than tech, but red-black tech along the way is fine. Lots of pushing is bad, carrying is a no. I'll bring my lite eMTB, so 40-50km with up to 1200m is fine without knackering me for the next day.

Torridon is within reach but I don't want steep and rocky. I need my fitness, intact body, and functioning bike to last the week.

Thanks in advance.

Balblair

Seems to all be short black trails.

Golspie

Love that place, for some reason I remembered that it was further away north.

Ullapool to Bonar Bridge C2C

Can't see that working logistically.
