I think the D12 is basically the same as the Nat 24hr isn't it? In which case I've ridden it a LOT.
I'll have to remind myself of it. It was years ago - https://www.cyclingweekly.com/news/racing/torrential-rain-affects-north-norfolk-wheelers-100-mile-time-trial-30522
From your writing it sounds slow though, I thought it was a relatively fast circuit?

How easy is it to do without support? Is there a single point to leave the car with supplies in it which I can access on the whole course?

The start circuit is basically some twiddly single carriageway followed by a whole north and south circuit. Then there's a few laps of the south circuit, a few laps of the north circuit, and then there's the finishing circuit. The south circuit is fast, provided it's not too windy, and reasonably smooth. The north circuit is fast but punishing due to the road surface. The finishing circuit is slow. Overall it's pretty fast though. I don't think it's as fast as the H12H/8 course, due to the finishing circuit, but it's pretty speedy even if the north circuit is deeply unpleasant due to the road surface.

Yes. The starting circuit begins with some slow wiggly single track roads onto the A11. The southern circuit includes the southern part of the 100 course (the bit between the Snetterton turn and the Caxton junction) but goes south from that down to near Thetford. The northern circuit is the 100 course with the bottom bit (between Caxton and Snett) chopped off. The finishing circuit is then a bogging slow slog along lots of twisty single carriageway roads, which I ended up doing for over two hours.
Just the National for me, I think. Have you done the D12/1 course?
