The most awkward space you've had to climb into?

Another front-tank-of-a-Wayfarer here. I wanted to do some fibgreglass work and stupidly wriggled in with a bottle of acetone and a rag. I wriggled back out extremely quickly when I realised my mistake!

I got stuck in the footwell of an MG once whilst fitting new carpets using glue! Felt odd for the rest of the day and my workmates thought it was hilarious.

Also got stuck in a midget when the seat was forward and I couldn't reach the door catch, they took the p then aswell!
 
Cockpit lockers shrink!
Every year it gets more difficult to get into mine, even more tricky to get out.
A job I've been dreading is fitting a heater exhaust into the transom of my UFO 31. Can I hire a trained gibbon from somewhere?
I had a UFO27 to which I wanted to bolt on a transom ladder. Access was at the rear of the engine space, via a hatch in the side of a cockpit locker. It proved impossible to get near enough to the transom , from inside, to tighten up the nuts. I solved the problem by bribing my then 10-year-old granddaughter to go in there!

That's a brilliant idea, why didn't I think of that?
I've just bought my 9 yr old granddaughter a new racing dinghy, it might work!
I'll have to wait until her mother's not looking.
