Raising Hiding on a stat-loss red

Interesting situation I've come upon... I want to raise Hiding on my statloss red, and can't think of a good way to do it safely. One thought was one-tile island, but even then, we have a lot of pirates running around with Tracking, and there's also the rogue water elemental if I happen to fail (which will a lot since I'm just trying to go from 10 to 30 or so.
Houses are out of the question because the success rate is so high and I don't think you can gain in them...
Any ideas?

You should be OK in a house so long as you unfriend yourself from it first, I think.

Don't think this will work. There is like a 50% chance to hide with 0 hiding in a house you are not a friend of.
The only other way I can think of, is inside a courtyard.

I think courtyards count as house areas, actually.
Yeah the 50/50 thing... no clue how it would impact the skill gain.
My best idea at this point is to go to 1-tile island (or better yet, a walled-in portion of a dungeon that I can block the other tiles behind the wall with heavy boxes). Then run a macro like:
IF(sysmessage:Attacking)
Equip Invis Item
Pause 1000
Equip Reflect Item
Cast Recall
Target Courtyard Rune
Undress Reflect
Undress Invis
ELSE
IF(hits <= 99)
Equip Invis Item
Pause 1000
Equip Reflect Item
Cast Recall
Target Courtyard Rune
Undress Reflect
Undress Invis
ELSE
Use Skill Hiding
END IF
END IF
Pause 1000

Go out on a boat with a couple NPC hirelings. Nearby mobiles increase the difficulty.

Pretty sure Derrick made courtyards not part of the house when he enabled decay in courtyards. You can also teleport in courtyards, you can't teleport in a house.

Block an area with boats so no one can get by, try the rivers in Shame near blood.
