Hi Pip

Thank you very much for your answer regarding using "on foot". I found your method of describing what the wrong usage of the expression might produce in the mind of a native speaker absolutely excellent. I thought that there could be no explanation in this example and it is just how the preposition "on" got established in this context. I am happy when I find out new things where I thought there is nothing else to discover.
