Take a gentle paddle along the Basingstoke Canal from Lock 1 at West Byfleet where there's basic parking and easy access to the water. There's a lovely short section heading East to where the canal meets the River Wey, from where you can head North towards the Thames or South towards Pyrford and eventually guildford. Heading East from the start takes you towards Woking.
You need a canal license to use the canal, either from the Basingstoke Canal Authority or British Canoeing membership.
