‘Deepest sleep in the world’ – a Welsh hotel that’s 419m underground “世界最深的地下住宿” —— 威爾士一旅館開在地下419米處

文字稿

The rugged landscape surrounding Eryri Snowdonia. But it’s what’s under these hills we’re interested in today.

這是威爾士雪墩山國傢公園附近崎嶇難行的野外。不過，我們今天的興趣點在這些山丘之下。

“So we’ve made our way up to an old quarry on the edge of Snowdonia, where we’re hoping to find the deepest sleep in the world. A hotel where there’s no real reception. We have to make our own way down and for that, we’re gonna need some very special gear.”

“我們爬到瞭雪墩山山腳下一個舊的礦石場，我們希望在這裡找到世界地下最深處的住宿地。這是個沒有常規前臺接待的旅館。我們必須自行下降到礦場的礦井裡面，下降過程中需要用到一些很特殊的裝置。”

This is the Cwmorthin slate mine near Blaenau Ffestiniog in Gwynedd. Once hundreds of men worked here, before it was abandoned during the Second World War.

這是科莫辛板巖礦井，位於格溫內斯郡佈萊內費斯蒂尼奧鎮附近。曾有數百名工人在此工作，直到第二次世界大戰期間礦井被廢棄。

It’s our job to navigate five massive floors underground, with scrambles down steep inclines, flooded chambers and dangerous hazards lit only by a head torch.

我們的任務是穿過地下五層大面積的舊礦井工作區，艱難地爬下陡坡、趟過積水的屋室、經過危險的障礙物，全程中隻有一個探險頭燈來照明。

“When they said go underground and have a look at some accommodation, I didn’t exactly expect to be doing this, but let’s give it a go.”

“當他們說讓我去地下參觀一個住宿地點的時候，我可沒預料到需要做這個，但是來都來瞭，我試試吧。”

After an arduous two-hour descent, we finally arrive at our destination, nearly half a kilometre underground.

經過兩個小時艱難的下降，我們終於到達瞭目的地，位於地下近半公裡處。

“This is Deep Sleep, the deepest underground accommodation in the world. We’ll head to the first of our four cabins and take a look. So it’s nice and cosy in here. You can feel the heat as you walk in. You get a brilliant night’s sleep here. It’s got a comfier bed than my bed at home, I think.”

“這裡是 ‘深度睡眠’，世界最深的地下住宿。我們去看看四個小屋中的第一個。這裡舒適又愜意。走進來的時候就能感到這裡很暖和。在這裡可以美美地睡一晚上。我覺得這裡的床比我傢的床還舒服。”

Every part of this was hand built on the surface, before being flat-packed and painstakingly carried down, piece by piece.

這間旅館的每個部件都是在地面上手工打造的，然後被拆分包裝，小心翼翼地逐片搬運下來。

Mike Morris, Operations Manager, Go Below
“A lot of people come here, they book a hotel, and they go on an adventure. I’d like to think that we’ve kind of combined the two. They can come and do an adventure and sleep underground at the same time. We know people are gonna love it or else we wouldn’t have created this space.”

邁克·莫裡斯 Go Below 地下探險公司運營經理
“這片區域有很多遊客，他們通常會訂個旅店，然後踏上冒險的旅程。我覺得我們差不多把這兩者結合起來瞭。旅客到這裡來既可以探險，又可以在地下旅館睡覺。我們知道這裡一定會很受歡迎，不然我們也不會創造這個空間。”

Food underground is included: freeze dried expedition meals, hot and filling, but don’t expect them to be Michelin star.

地下旅館還包餐食：被冷凍幹燥處理過的探險餐，熱乎又管飽，但是別指望能和米其林星級大餐一樣好吃。

One last thing: alcohol is banned for safety. After all, you still have to climb all the way back up again to reach daylight.

最後一點：出於安全考慮，這裡禁止飲酒。畢竟，你還得原路爬回地上才能重見天日。
