Aiming to do this- outwards thru the bridge - at the next set of springs.
Any hints/advice for a first-timer?

I looked up your profile and it would appear that you have a Beneteau 361, if I interpreted that correctly. Your draft could be interesting. I use to be able to get over the Broomway with a 4.5' draft but not with a 5.5' draft and my draft is now 5.9' and I wouldn't even think about it.
Probably as you are approaching it from the easier side [the Narrowcuts] the best advice is the ensure the bridge is operating on the day that you want to go through.

You are right - I do
But I am doing it with a mate in his 27ft Hunter B/K less than 1m draft

you'll be fine then! I crapped myself in anticipation, but on the day it was easy and great.

At a 1m draft you don't have to wait for springs then.

I have not been thhrough for about 20 years or so..... What's the panels view on a draft of 4ft 6in ?

Touch and go literally. Need a good set of springs from my experience and you may still bump on the gravel of the Broomway. Of course with a low in the North Sea and a NE wind there might be enough water not to bump.
