We met here, in the Runnymede Pleasure grounds car park:

(Parking is £4.50 / 3 hours or £6.00 all day.)
We shuttled a couple of cars down to a small car park at Egham Hythe, near the finish but on the wrong side of the river. (But you can swim across, right?) here:

(Small car park but free.)
We got changed, strolled down to Bell Weir Lock:

We jumped in and swam down to Penton Hook Lock,

stopping for Elevenses on the way down. This is swim 68 in Michael Worthington's 'I ♥ the Thames'' and is about 4.5k.
We are the Outdoor Swimming Society’s ‘Swim the Thames’ group, swimming the entire length of the River Thames as it flows from source to sea, through countryside meadows, Cotswold villages, market towns, and great cities. Follow us here to track our progress as we wade, walk, breaststroke, crawl and butterfly our wet way from the source of the great river to Teddington... and beyond.
