There's been much written recently about getting lost but
no real effort has been given to the actual mechanics of how you get
lost!

Obviously this is something you really should take a specialisation
in.  Mearly going round in circles and hoping you lose track of where
you are is not good enough. Serious thought needs to be given to the
actual act.

I myself* (and I've got Frank as a surface witness) successfully applied
the 'confuse North and South' method at Stoney at the beginning of the
year, leading to a surface swim back across the lake.

Dan Taylor I believe applies a similar methodology but slightly more
technical.

What methods do others employ in this arcane art?
