The weekend is in Hamburg and will start at 16:00 Friday 26th July and end at 14:00 Sunday 28th July.

Practical:

​

Bring a drinking vessel WE WILL NOT PROVIDE ONE! If you forget to bring one, you will have to provide your own. MERMAIDS are environmentally friendly and most hashers have enough stuff by now.

 

Also, bring your own lanyard if you need or want one.

Weather:

​

Hamburg is TEMPERATE, and in July, this means it can be hot (30C) or cold (15C), wet or dry, so bring clothing to suit. If you are not sure what to bring, check the online weather forecast: https://www.bbc.com/weather
