my most used pack at the moment is a 110litres BERGANS "alpinist(escape?)*. but that includes two large removeable sidepockets and an also removeable second topcover(pocket). and my trips have been longer than 3days(up to 12so far)-so most of it was food. and as i do all my trips solo and in slightly more remote areas than UK i have to carry any extra gear like binoculars etc. by myself and also have some emergency gear with me as i do not expect any help other than from myself in case something goes wrong. the maximum load incl. backpack was ca. 30kg so far (without having any problems!) ...
but it did also shorter trips(up to 3weeks) in europe with much smaller(ca. 35l +bits and pieces in my pockets and a small shoulder bag) backpacks! but then i knew the area vey well... .
*not sure which one exactly-2very similar models!
