Mad Monday - does it really exist ?

[peted]

Hi Guys...am just planning summer hols..I have an option to be in Cumbria from Monday 6 August for a week. The choice is between the Lakes or near Hexham - I am trying to influence the family decision

Does Mad Monday really exist ? (I know it is of course weather dependant)

I've read that due to Public holiday in Scotland in beginning August, flying in other areas increases.

Has there been increased activity on the first Monday of August in previous years ? Or is it a myth ?

Or does all traffic got to Wales instead ?

Thanks in advance

Its pot Luck
I have been there on occasions and had only a single movement all day and on an other occasion we had 12 GR4's

overall its 50/50 as to whether you will see more on a normal day
so I guess you have to go and see for your self

It did not happen last year which was just as well as wx was like now garbage,also Lossie was closed and Leuchars had an Air Safety Day which meant in real terms meant no flying just housekeeping/maintaince on base.Best to keep an eye on Notams close to date-August 6th 2012.
