Open Water oop North

With the UK being embroiled in various (in my honest opinion) ridiculous health and safety regulations, open water swimming is very limited as far as I know up North.
There are a few good lakes down south that have early midweek sessions going.
In the Sheffield area the only swim session I am aware of is the 8am - 10am one down at Rother Valley with Buoys about 100m apart, and the likelyhood of getting a face full of weeds! :-)
Has anyone else got any other recommendations?

Obviously this would be in a group of people all with wet suits and suitably coloured luminous swimming caps.
But perhaps Camo would be better for a stealth swim. hmm
There must be something surely.......Come on guys I need your help :-)
You could also try a book called 'Wild swim' which may have some places. I just popped into a book shop and leafed through it.
Failing that, I think your idea of a group of friends is a good one, as long as you all look out for each other and be prepared to be chucked out. If you do, let us know how it goes.
Another thought - is there a tri club in your area that has an OW session?
also at Blue lagooners near Womersley not sure of the times, wed evening i think
