What is the procedure to hold NVFR (or IFR) when navigating by ADF, presumably away from a navaid? How do you ensure that you can resume the planned track, within the required tolerances?

If the winds were 60 knots as some have suggested, a 2 minute turn would take you 2 miles from your starting point. If you have to hold for 5 minutes (3 turns) you might drift 6 miles from your starting point. Is there a way to ensure you end each orbit back where you started?
