Nice ride report! We lived 5 years in the Thames Valley in Berkshire but close to S. Bucks & Oxon. Of course you have the Cotswolds so close but the Chilterns are also very beautiful and could be accessed easily from Oxford by bicycle. Here's a link to the Chiltern Cycleway which all or part might be of interest to you. I think that you could find similar opportunities for wild camping as you already have a nose for it!
