Old Canberra NDB approach
QSK
I used to use this approach for practising NDB approaches. Although not particularly difficult, it had all the things you were likely to find, and the missed approach level was high enough to be used at Alice Springs. The missed approach took you right back to the NDB at the correct height to immediately begin another approach. You could keep doing this all day with no lost time. (except when the Boeings were coming)
In those days we also used to practise "DME" approaches, using only the DME. No other ground aids. You used the compass and ground speed to fly a pattern to the minima. It worked.
