Hmm, I'm pretty shit with maps/directions/anything that's happened in the last 30 years but this seems quite different to the 24hr course:
https://mywindsock.com/uploads/1204569/I guess I just recognised the names and thought "yep, looks like the 24" but it seems to take quite a few different out and backs and loops, still pretty centred on maybe Whitchurch RAB though.
Hmm, fat guys, shit roads and fast tyres aren't a great combo. Guess I better kick off that heroin addiction sooner than planned.

I've found one Strava activity for the D12/1 and it looks like there's a middle section which doesn't go near the Prees Heath RAB. Looks a bit undoable on an unsupported basis if that's still the course.
The northern circuit is worse than Newbury, by a considerable margin. Lane-wide bone-jarring trenches all the way across the road. Plus potholes. The smoothest line is to try and ride along the rumble strip by the side of the carriageway. It's smoother than the road surface.
