The UK ones are like hot embrocation. I got whacked with some Polish ones though and they brought welts out on my skin.
There's defo a couple different types up here in Scotland, the most common ones I'm fine with but every so often you get complacent then catch one of the ubernettles and you really know about it.
The gorse is pretty bad at the moment I'm finding. Or maybe it's just the riding I'm doing. Started off semi enjoying riding through it the other day in a masochistic, acupuncture-y kind of a way then I wasn't in it at all for a bit and when I went back into it, oh fuck man, so much worse than before!
