Congratulations on your Brooks and hopefully the suggestions here will help you find the perfect position.

A couple of things came to mind. Have you tried lowering the seatpost just a little? Think of the saddle as a see saw. When you are up high, you have more pressure on your sitbones and girlie parts. When your feet touch the ground, the pressure is relieved.

Is the pressure from the hammock area? Sometimes relief can occur when tilting the nose ever so slightly downward and adjusting it upward as you break in the saddle.

Adjusting Brooks saddles come with trial and error for the first hundred miles. Always keep tools handy to do the micro-adjusting until you have broken in the saddle, which varies for each rider. On average it's 100-200 miles or so.
