Holding question

If i'm doing a direct entry into a hold on a bearing that means i've got to turn through much more than 180 degrees (i.e. it's almost an offset entry), how do I get the turn outbound correct?

If I start a rate one turn through ~250 degrees as soon as I cross the beacon then the outbound leg will be too close in and I'll shoot through the radial when I turn on the inbound leg. I guess I can turn through 'something like 180 degrees', 'wait for a bit' and then finish the turn outbound? Or turn through less than 250 degrees to the outbound and then more than 180 inbound? Or...? What's the easy way to do it...

Got every other option clear in my mind ... but this is the one i've got to do...
