It's great living out here, until you want to train on hills
When I was getting ready to do the C2C a few years ago, I cycled everywhere in the biggest gear I could & I think that helped with hills, but it's only a substitute & you cant beat the real thing. Is it not possible to take your bike by car, or other transport to Beverley & then you are on the edge of the Wolds & plenty of hills to work on there

Spend a weekend in some serious cycling country like Lancashire, Yorkshire or Scotlandshire?
