Sounds like you have got the right idea, and others contributing to this thread !
We've done this for last few years in our Luscombe...... careful planning for weight and balance ( good quality lightweight camping gear is a must ) As long a s water is available where you camp for cooking/ washing / getting bugs off the windscreen. Strangely enough the hardest decision is often over footware as not much storage room for selection and I like to fly taildraggers in lightweight shoes, so walking in local area at destination airfields can be limited . OS Maps app on a tablet is also a good idea, and planning for pubs / food etc is best done beforehand as we found that plenty of airstrips have mobile network black holes !
