In the South West of Surrey sits Godalming, a fine little town on the River Wey. It has managed to keep the best of and escape the worst of modernity. Some commute from here to London: there may be a better way though, on foot. Could one walk from peaceful, happily forgotten Godalming to that centre to which all eyes turn in Downing Street? Some might wish to make that journey by their own efforts….
The distance on our route is 42 miles, so it should take about 2 days. It passes substantially through just one county, Surrey and finally into the edge of Middlesex.
