> Google Maps now provides people in Great Britain with real-time information about the best and quickest ways to get places – regardless of whether commuters choose to travel by train, tube, bus, boat, dragon or Loch Ness Monster.
> 
> Take the journey from Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales, to the Welsh mountain range, Brecon Beacons. According to Google, it would either take you about 3 and a half hours to drive. Or 32 minutes by dragon. Just hop onto one of the mythical creatures at Snowdonia Dragon Station, and enjoy the ride.
