In reply to Big P:
We did (from Italy):
Ryanair to Oslo €100
Flight Oslo to Bodo €160
Ferry Bodo to Svolvaer €80
We found a guy there who rented us bikes with panniers for the first week, then car hire for the second week. We stashed all climbing and camping gear with him for first week & biked and stayed in cabins. Then second week car and climbing. If (when! when!) we go back for a dedicated climbing holiday, we'll definitely do without the car & camp near Henningsvaer & rely on public transport.
Bike hire €23 per pers per day inc panniers
Car hire (4 people) €18 per pers per day.
So the bike hire was more expensive than the car!! The car had 200,000 km on the clock & was knocked about a bit, but otherwise ok.
