Yep, Im afraid the ferry between Norway and the UK hasnt operated for about a year now. Went from Bergen to Newcastle in 2005 with it.
If you go into the north (Lapland) watch out for reindeer, you will probably see a lot of them, and sometimes they come to the road. A moose is also found in many parts of Finland, even in the south, they become VERY big, and can run into the road from the woods very fast. Not meaning to scare you, but they are good to keep in mind!
In the summer, Lapland is fantastic with no night at all. The mosquitoes, depending on the year, are sometimes a discomfort, just need to use a lot of repellent.
