When the Kanellopoulos Museum in Athens commissioned Mark Reed to make a one-tonne, £20,000, tree sculpture out of steel he soon realised it would be too expensive to post it there. So he decided to deliver it himself on the back of his 1989 VW camper van.

Through France, the Mont Blanc tunnel, Switzerland and Italy to the Greek city.

Mark has been a sculptor for 25 years and currently works out of his studio on the family fruit farm at Ashill, near Watton.

The sculpture made it to Athens safely and Mark got home in time for Christmas. Although he's staying put for the time being after the epic 5000 mile round trip.
