The more technical Peaslake trails are harder than the hardest Pedalhounds stages. I ride an open face (and knees if it's not too hot) and a hardtail is absolutely fine, if not as fast.
Even a UK National Series event won't have anything like that Morgins black though there can be sections when I feel I'm approaching the limit of my abilities on a hardtail. I wear a full face for these.
The Southern Enduro series tracks are somewhere in between.
