Welcome to the KitRaider links page! We don't want to boggle you with reams of links so you’ll find just our top picks for each of our sport sectors.
We’ve focussed on listing relevant associations where you can find comprehensive information on your favourite pastime, holiday and instruction websites as well as noteworthy magazines to swot up on! We’ll continue to search for our top picks – but if you think we’ve overlooked a gem of a resource please email us
with the title LINK ME and we’ll aim to incorporate the site.
