Yeah, fartlek sounds like a good substitute, or even just a session of similar overall effort, e.g. tempo run.
(I do know of a chap who successfully did the Bob Graham Round (Lake District mad hilly fucker), who lived in the flatlands of Cambs and did all his "hill" training in a multi-storey car park...) :-)
My fitness is coming back nicely after a few consistent weeks including track sessions and 3x XC races. Kent County Vets (over-40s) XC champs in Dartford on Saturday. We should be favourites to retain the title, but I'll have to work hard just to make the team.
