Wood dragon

It's hard work controlling a dragon of this magnitude when you are only four.

It's even harder work when you break through the earths atmosphere and whizz into outer space.

And then there are the complicated instructions that need to be shouted at great volume, not to mention the sound effects.

All of this would put some people off even leaving the ground.

I had a quick spin which was surprisingly exhilarating.

I would go so far as to recommend a spot of dragon riding, on a Wednesday morning, to add a little something to your week (subject to dragon availability).
