I'm up in the Lakes for 10 days mid August for biking and general outdoor fun. Yay!
I'm after a proper 2 day circular route with a wild camp overnight but obviously taking into account that I'll have a sizeable sac so a decent pace but not overly ambitious... Unless the weather looks grand in which case I might consider bivvying rather than taking the tent, which would lighten the load.
Cheers
A lap of the Ennerdale skyline might fit the bill - start/finish at Ennerdale Bridge, along the Red Pike / High Stile ridge, bivvy at Gillercombe Head or on top of Gable or Kirk Fell, back over Pillar.
Or does it have to be circular? The Old Counties tops (Helvellyn, Scafell Pike, Coniston Old Man) make a fine expedition - you can get the bus from Windermere to Patterdale to start with, then back from Coniston to Windermere at the end.
I thought it was illegal to wild camp in England.
For proper wilderness head up north to Scotland.... where camping is legal too
Wild camping high up is tolerated in the Lakes if done responsibly I believe.
Yup, not a problem so long as you're discreet.
We were wild camping in the Lakes last week, no problems....we were well behaved and discreet.
On one night we camped quite low down, due to poor weather and light conditions, we picked a spot next to Wast water...the National trust guys were fine...
Just be discreet and respectful of where you are and what you are doing....have fun!
It was a bit wet for us last week, but with good company and a bottle of wine....it puts things into a different light... 
Keswick to Ambleside via overnight on Glaramara - make it circular by catching the 555 back to Keswick
