The lanes are VERY narrow around here with lots of overgrown braken and brambles.
As my disco is two days old it was painful listening to the scratching......
I am pretty sure it will all polish out, but should I worry and does anyone have any tips for dealng with this sort of thing?
Did much the same thing myself this weekend in Kent. Both sides (and roof) sandpapered by the brambles. When I eventually got out to view the damage I could only hear myself say 'respray'. 
Got back home and got out some of that coloured wax polish (Turtle), green in my case. Worked a real treat and I couldn't believe how the scratches vanished. I only did one panel as I'm going to leave the others as trophies!

Pallet wrap is apparently a great tip for avoiding scratches, and some of the guys used it last summer on group trips.
However I can't see how you manage to open the doors (unless the driver & passengers lock themselves in, and a helpful friend then 'wraps' the car up for them.) Discovery 3 tdv6 7 seat Buckingham Blue

Thanks Sidslope.
Feeling better this morning after a good bottle of red! Also as I am in the middle of Dartmoor on a farm there are plenty of nice boulders in the fields to take my mind off the scratches. I havee a good at putting some in the underside instead!!
