I always set the saddle to be parallel to the ground. You say there's no way of moving it but there's almost certainly a bolt that can be loosened off with a suitably-sized allen key, near to where the saddle rails are. I can almost see it in the picture but not quite (needs a close-up picture of where the saddle joins the seat post).

Looks fantastic, here's to many years of pleasure (raises beer).Well what a day came back off holiday to find my neighbour had been baby sitting a big box... yes guy's it has arrived
Soon had it set up .... my new bike all ready to go...
Looks great 
The saddle is definitely adjustable, looks like two bolts to undo underneath the clamp then you should be able to rotate it down and slide it forward and back. It should be flat but some people prefer a small amount of up or down tilt. Start with it level and only move it a little at a time from there until it's just right
You'll probably find you want to rotate the handle bars forward slightly over time too, your wrist should be in its natural position when riding on the hoods

Odd stop along way just to check bike was ok.

Hard day at work once home normally gym night but felt like going nothing. But thought no get on the bike. Just back and still buzzing 
just over 11 miles few hills but the views kept me going. Cant think of many better way to unwind. Traffic free county lanes most part so had a go at riding out the saddle (it's coming back to me though it feel a bit different on road bike)
Good job i packed a multi-tool though had a bit of a pit stop to sort out lose handle bars.
