This is my current favourite: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/210889 although I still need to find a better way around Crawley.
I am intrigued by the the cycle.travel mapping tool you are using. Is the algorithm it uses to automatically generate cycle routes any good?

I’m actually going to riding from Guildford to Winchester at the weekend before attempting the SDW, you have a nice route for that stretch?

Well, it was the mud that really killed it for me, but I have to say that if I wanted a long epic ride, I'd do the Guildford > SDW > Guildford ride that I did a couple of weeks back. That ride was much more scenic and more interesting riding, covering almost all the same variety of terrain.
On this one there were too many gates, too many unclear paths that might or might not have been bridlepaths, too many routes through fields that turned out not to have an exit etc... it was also incredibly overgrown in places, so I was properly fighting off brambles and nettles in places.
