Although the Great North Swim has been postponed this weekend by event organisers Nova International, here in the heart of the Lake District we still have plenty going on. On Twitter @cragchris has put together small selection of events happening on the 3rd/4th/5th September 2010 which we have collated and put together in a list below.
