The Game Goes On by Jim Eyre

The Game Goes On

Author: Jim Eyre

From the cover
Jim Eyre has led a varied life, from his painting and decorating business to travelling this world in search of adventure. His quest has never failed, with escapades galore and always a gritty, underlying determination to find new caves and, as part of his time spent with the Yorkshire-based Cave Rescue Organisation, to help to rescue anyone unfortunate enough to experience an accident underground.

A highly accomplished cartoonist and raconteur, Jim presented the first half of his autobiography as It's Only a Game. The book drew great acclaim and now, in The Game Goes On, he picks up his story in the 1960s. And if you thought Jim had accomplished a lot in the first part of his life, you haven't read anything yet!

This is not only an exploration of the natural world beneath our feet, but a study of humour and pathos by a master storyteller. Here are tales of life and death, of pleasures and discomfort and the sheer, unadulterated joy of discovery, told with relish and no holds barred. Read of trips to Iran and Mexico, Greece and Spain; of desperate attempts to descend the world's deepest cave and the satisfaction of extending those in the Dales.The Game Goes On is a captivating tale of the best and worst that the world can throw at one man, but which still finds him laughing at fate and you chuckling alongside.
