...i completely forgot about tht...cheers. i know what ill be doing with my lvl 13 stalker now lol
When it came to the Abandoned Sewers, I just sidekicked to a level 50 on my second account and strolled down to where the plaque was. ^_^
On your own, yeah, impossible. But the SSK system allows you to do it when teamed with a level 50, no matter what other zone they might be in. 
Otherwise, yeah, I've done this. I can't remember if I was as low as 10 or below, but certainly by my early to mid teens on a recent character.
I also did this on my level 20 or so character created for our Midlevel Crisis team last month. The reason was, I was on a pick up group and the leader called me a "badge *****". When I asked what he meant, he said that it was highly unusual to see someone below level 25 that already had 49 badges.
I thought that was such a stupid comment that I went out the next day and collected every exploration/history badge. I even crashed a rikti raid to get the badge on the ship. ^_^ I was at well over 200 badges by the time I hit 30. ^_^
The plaque on Monkey Island is a fun one too, but if you come in by water into the bay you should be able to pull it off.

Some of the badges are easier gotten from underneath, such as the badges on the catwalks in Bricks and Crey's. Often there're baddies right on top of it, but they can't see through the floor to attack you.
A fun new thing you can do at level 10 (or below!) since the advent of i16 is to obtain the majority of exploration and history badges.
All 89 exploration badges in non-keyed zones (read: No Cimeora, PVP, or The Hive) and 15/16 history badges can be earned with careful travel, but no stealth, even in the Rikti War zone.
The only badge that a level 10 simply cannot get to by these means is the 3rd history plaque for the 'Academic' (History of Nemesis) badge, down in the abandoned sewers. The enemies are too tightly packed to dodge between, and often block doors, especially the Hydra-men.
If you enter from the Steel Canyon entrance, there aren't too many Rikti drones, which makes the trip *with* stealth or invis slightly more doable, but they do start appearing just before the Plaque area, and there's groups of Rikti very near the plaque which can contain them. In the end, I had to get a level 50 to SSK me so that I could read it.
It's a fun challenge, and one that I'd recommend for any player making a new character these days.
