  2. Hej Hendrik,
    Thanks again for featuring me in your WIR! 
    It's always a pleasure on a monday morning to grab the mac and a fresh brewed cup of coffee, sit down and browse all the included links. Better than all outdoor magazines on the market! Thanks for that!

  5. enjoying TWIR Hendrik. Thanks for putting it together. I find it hard to keep up with my subscribed blogs after a busy few weeks and ended up marking a lot of them as read. This shows me a little of what I've missed.
