The 5 Types Of Hikers

5 Types Of Hikers

In my opinion there are 5 types of hikers among the hikers. I would like to share those 5 types of hikers I encounter on a walk.

The Time Hiker

This kind of hiker wants to start on time. Preferably the first and also the first to be back. This walker is all about getting off the trail as quickly as possible. Often, they hardly talk to other walkers.

The Fun Hiker

The fun comes first for this hiker. This person prefers to chat with other walkers all the time. As an introvert, these walkers are the most dangerous for me :-). Although a chat is occasionally quite pleasant.

The Fitness Hiker

This hiker almost runs to keep his or her fitness level. Time is not important. The motto has been sporting for another day. These walkers walk at a nice pace, but also have an eye for the environment and fellow walkers.

The Environment Observer

The environment is the main reason that this hiker walks here. This hiker enjoys the environment. Nature or the district / city are of interest to this walker. I can recognize this walker because he or she often walks with a camera and occasionally stops to discover and view things.

The Cheater

This hiker sends husband / girlfriend / friend to the highest / furthest post for stamp at checkpoint and waits with a drink. This walker wants a medal but does not want to hike the entire route, but are the ones who are kind enough to stand at the top of the hill or mountain with water for me and other participants or are encouraging me and other participants for the last part of the climb. They are there till the last one is over the mountain or hill.

Which Walker Am I?

Which of the 5 hikers am I? I am the environment observer. I thoroughly enjoy my surroundings and definitely stop for photos on the way. I always have a camera with me. Sometimes I am the others, but rarely.
