Speaking of power banks (for charging phone, running satnav etc.), I saw these recently:

I haven't bought one so can't vouch for it (already got a 10000mAh one that I'm happy with) but it's an impressive claim for the price!

Not a lot, usually I take enough undies and socks for the trip plus a couple spare. The T shirt I wear in the evening gets used the next day to wear on the bike. No jacket (use bike jacket) and a pair of shorts and jeans. Couldn't ride with just heated grips though this time of year, always wear heated gloves. I travel extremely light !
Take gaffer tape, and a few cable ties, and bungee straps used on a few trips on mates bikes from snapped indicator stalks to loose pannier lid etc.
Cable ties. Don't take up much room but are increadibly useful.
Duct tape.
I always carry a clear/dark visor on longer trips.
Chinagraph pencil for writing directions on the tank. Saves having to keep stopping to check the map.
I've done journeys in March and it's not much fun. Stick with a car (if you haven't the se of one, hire one) Whilst there check out the roads, pubs and attractions and arrange to go back when it's warmer/summer
North Yorkshire !
Beautiful place.
Other items you may need:
1, Yorkshire to Wiltshire dictionary - it would be no use axing for directions to somewhere in the local aerial :-)
2, Large stick - just in case you are attacked by rampaging ferrets.
3, Flat cap - to blend in.
4, Friendly, outgoing, warm personality - to blend in !
5, Camera - to record the stunning Yorkshire moors.
6, Bloody big coat - the wind & rain come sideways up there.
7, Bloody bigger coat - to put over your bloody big coat.
If you need to stop for a wee on the moors don't wee down a rabbit hole as I've heard that ferret can jump out, swim "upstream" and cause untold damage (although I may be confusing that with a frog or a fish or something in Africa) :-)
Have fun....
