Used truck route — 441.8km
The newest of CMs routes was specially conceived to offer used trucks a similar challenge to the Scottish route, but condensed into much less time. Normally starting from BP at Hinckley again, it could also begin at a number of other points around the circuit, again to save time for the vehicle's provider.
From Hinckley it's up the A5 again, dropping down to the M54 after Galley Island then continuing west through Shrewsbury to join the A483 at Welshpool. As we write this, we are detouring through Uanidloes to avoid the road closure. This is due to the UK's oldest set of roadworks, which are trying to stop the A483 slipping into the River Ithon at Esgairdrainllwyn Bridge.
We refuel at Crossgates if we don't have a flow meter, and break for the night at Llandrindod Wells. Next morning it the A44 to Leominster, Hereford, Ross and motorway back to Hinckley via the M42 and the Warwick by-pass. Normally, the test hills are the long drag from Newtown to Dolfor, and the shorter slope of Dinmore Hill.
