Recently I watched [a video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-4yrSVMwis) of two people going to sleep 1375 feet (about 400 meters deep) down in a cave that had once been a mine.
As they descend they go from daylight to tunnel shafts, to walking in darkness until they get to places where they need to go along cables, with a big drop beneath, wade through water along a pipe, walk by a pump that provides the airbnb place with power.
At one point they need to zipline along a cable and at another one person, and then another need to belay down a shaft where the lead person is alone, and then has to wait for the next to arrive. Eventually they arrive to the Airbnb place.
You can get [more information](https://www.go-below.co.uk/deep-sleep.asp) if you’re curious about the experience.
I find the idea of sleeping within a cave, after exploring it interesting. It makes a change from walking to mountain huts or chalets to sleep. I believe that I would enjoy the experience. You can only stay in the cave from Saturday to Sunday and from what I gather, the food is rehydrated camping food. This makes sense as it has to be carried into and out of a cave by hand.
I think such an experience is worth trying at least once. We will see if such projects multiply. Old disused mines are common enough.
