The weather should be good. I've been in early November and it varied between winter up on the peaks to autumn on the way down and summer at the bottom, three seasons in the space of a two hour ride.
I've done the Portsmouth to Bilbao crossing and will now always ride through France. It's the same duration, cheaper and far more enjoyable, unless you like being stuck on an over-priced, floating pub.
Don't know about wild-camping but there is a good campsite at Eratzu at the western end of the range. It's quite cheap and you don't have to s*** in the woods, or is that the attraction of wild camping?
