You could build up a tolerence to nettles by taking a few branches full home and get your lass to thrash you with them.
jim, my ex didn't need nettles, her tongue was sharp enough to cut to the bone.

hmm just take a stick, like a walking stick or something and basically smash all the nettles in front of you as you go,
also there is kind of a way to walk through nettles and thorny plants -
you'd want to have a good walking shooes, like strong and hard stuff like maybe hikers or climbers shooes or like milatry boots, but thats not a must -
any way you should walk a little bit like a crab, meaning go sideways, and on every step you make you raise your leg a little bit higher than what you'd raise it when you normally walk, so you can catch a few stems with your foot and smash them forward the way you go.
this way - since you are walking sideways - youll make a path at the width of you profile so you can fit in there perfectly.
this way you will have a path ready for you evey time you go there,
i mean the bent plants wont raise up again (unless youll only do this once and leave the path alone for a good few weeks),
the only downside is that people or animals might use that path as well.

Maybe you should just try the Charles Bronson goes for a walk in the country method....?
Take a big block of lard, or tub of vaseline, and when you get to the site, strip off and lather yourself liberally all over with it, acts as a barrier to the nettle hairs, helps with your tan and vitamin D intake, plus, as well as the joy of seeing your plants sting-free, if anyone does happen to stumble across you, they'll run like fu*k and not be wanting to visit that little glade again in a hurry
And, no Missy, I'll not be taking pics

I like wading through nettles...they sting a bit but that just adds to the excitement of getting to the plot commando style...something to remember...Rambo style
Colonel Trautman: How's the wound?
Rambo: You taught us to ignore pain, right?
Colonel Trautman: Is it working?
Rambo: Not really. Don't take it personal.
Colonel Trautman: Thanks.

Never forget that pain is a sign of weakness leaving the body
It's not really pain anyway, just irritation, man up! Wigster here goes naked!
getting to the plot commando style...
..That is tough!
