Simplified route as Swimtag doesn't like too many data points.
Begin at the source in Alton, eventually breaking out into a swim when the water is deep enough. Cross into Surrey at Wrecclesham, swim through Farnham past the William Cobbett, meander past Waverley Abbey and Islamabad (Tilford) before combining with the south arm to make the Wey proper at Tilford. Keep twisting and turning and swim under The Mill at Elstead, through Godalming and into Guildford where you'll pass iconic places such as the A322 giratory, Odeon, Ecobat Battery Technologies South and Guildford Cricket Club. Continue on through Jacobs Well, Send, Pyrford and Wisley, where you'll see Wisley RHS Garden. Swim through Byfleet, where you'll see sunny beaches and the pipe bridge, before passing the legendary Brooklands motor circuit and the monstrosity of a building that is Mercedes Benz World. Finally, look out for toffs in rowing boats as you swim Weybridge and enter the Thames just west of Desborough Island.
