Just found this thread, defiantly going to follow it now!
We keep wanting to go up there at some point so we can see the northern lights. Like you I am into my photography and would love to do some long exposure shots. What has put us off is the sheer price of things as we have heard its REALLY expensive. Any chance either on here or via message you can enlighten me Matt if this is the case? Whats the price of petrol/food/camping etc?

Cheers. You won't be disappointed if you do come over. It's getting to that stage where the nights will disappear altogether and the midnight sun comes out.
Not everything is expensive over here. Yes, alcohol, eating out, buying cars (if you like it that much) is very expensive but other than that it's not too bad. Fuel is about the same (petrol is slightly more). The exchange rate works in our favour at the moment. You can wild camp all over legally but the NAF camp sites are reasonable and pretty much perfect.
All you need is lots of time. It takes so long to get around and there are lots of toll roads too. I spend Ā£60 over 6 weeks when I took my Syncro over. It's just getting here that's a chew. It takes a few days to reach the ferry over nowadays.
Google these words and you'll want to go! "Preikestolen" "Kjeragbolten" "Trolltunga" [emoji106]

Been to Norway twice on the Harley camping and using the huttas (cheap and better than putting up a tent!). the boss wants to go over in Mr Custard now. its a shame they stopped the crossings from Newcastle to Christiansand. Its a long way now through Holland Denmark and that bloody big bridge to Sweden

Aye that ferry would have made life so much easier. They had a campaign to restart the service last year but the funding didn't come about [emoji20] there's a fright ferry from immingham but they can change the running when they want so it's not reliable
