16. The Mountain Biker - Can't here them coming but boy you have to jump off the trail quickly when you realise that they are there.
17. The Trail Biker - You can hear them coming and you think that they are on top of you when they are still miles away but boy you have to jump off the trail quickly when you realise that they are finally there.
18.Pprass - there is no such thing as a cache that isn't a drive by but boy you have to jump off the trail quickly when you realise that they are there.

As a self confessed gear jock, most of my friends would have no trouble in slotting me into #5. Mind you I would also slot most of my friends into the same category!
Unless of course I am out with my Scouts, in which case #1 is more suitable!

I'm afraid I'm a #5 too.

Ok, I don't really fit any of those categorys, But I could probably say I am somewhere between the Mysterious Lady minus the Dog (number 5) and the single person variation of the slow walking family (Number 10). I can usually keep pace with Dad until I come across an inclination then I trail behind while Dad waits for me at the top.
The Awkward Couple made me laugh though.

The other group you get is the gangly teens, usually at least five of them who bolt up the trail making lots of noise, a minute or so later the two blokes responsible for them appear, with long-suffering looks on their faces. Sometimes the "wheezy boy" or the injured (real or feigned) teen is walking/hobbling with them. I never know if they are Scouts, youth group types or the lads from Mt Penang on day release.

Ohh dear!
On the slide from 5 to 8 via 10.
Look out for #12.2 the woefully lacking in everything tourist skier.
We came across him near Seamans Hut in a white out.
He was dressed in a yellow plastic raincoat.
He was on the worst el-cheapo hire skis made.
He had skied up to a polemarker lost his bearings and was unsure as to which were his tracks leading in and other tracks leading out.
He was looking for the Perisher Trail! (He had headed of on a reverse bearing from his car).
He was alone.
We took him back to the pub at Charlotte and he never did appreciate the trouble he was in.
