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.

At least it had a happy ending, when I heard people were missing on the way there I feared the worst
