I think I have said this before, but nobody should worry unduly about getting lost.

On your within-PPL-training solo flights, the route will be carefully chosen to be really obvious and in good weather only. Your instructor is responsible for you and he doesn't want any comeback.

When you get your PPL, you get yourself a decent big GPS, read the manual, and use that for all flight, and you won't get lost. Learn to use VOR/DME and use that as a concurrent backup, and then you definitely won't get lost.
