y'ouch. Is it chafing thats the problem... and err whereabouts?

Anti-chafing cream would probably help.

Ouch!

As fits suggested, anti-chaffing cream might help. However, as with all problems like this, the old adage, 'prevention is better than cure', springs to mind here. It might appear a little odd to ask, but what clothes are you riding in? Jeans can cause chaffing, as can ill-fitting/badly made jodhpurs. A day or two off might help, but obviously it depends on your situation.
