The Kelly’s Putóg Hunt
19-24 August
Seán Kelly has hidden 20 Putógs* on the Greenway and all you need to do is find one to claim a fabulous prize. Hop on your bike, lace up those walking shoes and get yourself, your friends and your family on the Kelly’s Putóg Hunt.
From Monday 19th to Saturday 24th August all Great Western Greenway users have the chance to take part in a competition to win €5,000 worth of prizes.
The Putógs will nesting somewhere on the Greenway itself (no need to go off the track or beyond the fenceline) between Westport and Achill Island. Each one has a unique identification number on it and a label with details of how to redeem the associated prize. Anyone who finds a Putóg should take it and the label with them and bring it to Kelly’s Butchers in Newport to get their prize.
*The ‘Putóg’ is the traditional Irish black pudding which was made in every farmhouse in the West of Ireland. The filling was a combination of oatmeal, onions, suet, blood, salt and pepper and other easily sourced ingredients. Originally it was made in the time-honoured casing of a sheep’s stomach. Award winning butchers, Kelly’s of Newport, are keeping tradition alive by producing the ‘Putóg’ in its original form. The word ‘Putóg’ actually translates from Irish as ‘gut’, or ‘belly’
If you are a winner
