Yes, JohhhnyP, I shall be backpacking again in May, almost certainly setting off the 1st week.
In 2012 and 2013 I caught a train that arrived in Edale at about 3pm, and walked 9 miles to Doctor's Gate, just north of the Snake Road, where there's some wet grass amid the peat. Unfortunately, there's no real seclusion there, as cyclists come along Doctor's Gate until quite late, and someone even stopped once to take a picture of my tent!
I've been thinking of getting up really early so that I can arrive at 10.30 and camp a few miles north of Crowden.
One resolution I have made: I am bypassing Horton by continuing along the track west after coming off Pen y Ghent instead of doing the pointless loop south, then north. In 2012 I had one of the nastiest meals ever in the P-y-G Cafe and in 2013 I camped at the village site, where I was kept awake until after 1am by rowdy drunks, so there seems no good remaining reason to leave the hills for this particular spot of "civilisation".
So my possible schedule is:
1 Oakenclough Brook (ish) - last camped there in 1984!
2 Pub tea garden on A62 or a few miles north
3 Aladdin's Cave at Colden
4 Cowling
5 Malham (probably north of)
6 beyond PyG
7 Hardraw tea shop
8 Tan Hill
9 Field beside river NW of Middleton where farmer comes round on a tractor
10 Dufton
11 Garrigill/Alston
12 Greenhead
13 Bellingham
14 Byrness
15 KY
In reality, probably 14 days of walking and about 50% wild camping.
All subject to amendment on the day of course, which is one of the great joys of backpacking.
