http://www.nwemail.co.uk/news/lakes/16587616.poorly-equipped-walkers-rescued-after-failed-attempt-at-finding-the-priests-hole-on-dove-crag/Apparently they had one waterproof jacket, one double sleeping bag and a rug between four of them. MRT said getting to Priest's Hole is at least as tricky as doing the Helvellyn Edges. It's not easy to find, either.
