From: Quite near 'An aerodrome somewhere in England'
I understood that, for 'holding procedures in controlled airspace', where a fix is defined by bearing and range from a facility, the hold shall be entered either along the defining bearing or, if this is not possible, on the defining range arc.

So you track inbound to DTY 240/60 either on 240 or 060 if joining via the radial, 330 or 150 if joining via the DME range. But not 313.

Trying to navigate to brg/range fixes and join any other way is an artificiality beloved up by FTOs who perhaps have ex-RAF staff who used to practise this daft idea..
