There's a big thread in the Product Reviews forum on the US20.

Need a ground anchor fitting within 30 miles of Ilford? PM me.

If you are worried it isn't enough get a US-10 as well. The two can join together:

Kriega US-20

FWIW, 30-35 litres is the average size of a daysack.
20 may be a little tight unless you pack real light.

I've got the US-30 and it's coped with five days in Europe and three days in Scotland with room to spare ... the 20 on it's own restricts your flexibility a bit too much for my liking
