In reply to Flicka:
Camped at a place mentioned in the new rockfax.... can't remember the name (began with an L?) but it was a well equipped tent/ caravan site off the main road from Svolvaer- (you drive past the main left turning to Henningsvaer, and its a couple of miles round the coast on your left.) It had proper facilities, hired out fishing equipment and wasn't too much more than posh campsites over here.
There was also a fishing cabin available- (to the right of the site location) which had bunk rooms, shared bathroom, kitchen and living area, which I think was incredibly cheap for Norway- only £20-30 per night and we just turned up without notice in early June. We used this in the end as it pee'd down/ had gale force winds for most of our trip, so camping was just too miserable.
Transport- good to have a car if it rains and even if its dry its great to have a look around- lovely little beaches north west (?) of Svolvaer as well as the better known places further south. If its wet and you're bored- theres a cool glass blowing place somewhere south- 1-2hrs drive, we did alot of driving about!
We flew- Aberdeen- Stavanger- Oslo- Bodo- Svolvaer, a long day.... It mentions a 15kg bag weight limit on the Wideroe planes but we had way over that and never got charged etc.
Theres a tourist office in Svolvaer on the main town square who were quite helpful- had maps, and theres an internet access in a shop/ cafe in the same area too should you need it.
