> the conditions on Venus 40km were such that humans could walk around outside with nothing more than an oxygen supply.

The Wikipedia page on Venus's atmosphere suggests that at that altitude Venus's atmosphere is a sulphuric acid haze at 110°C and about 2atm of pressure, which, even if there was something to walk on, doesn't sound like you'd be able to walk around with just an oxygen supply for very long.
