Busy skies, bumpy air and landed too short.

Went straight back up for a second flight. There was still a headwind at the launch site so take off was fine. There was a bit of rotor coming off one of the ridges just after take off so I just flew straight and stabilised when I needed too. I did a few turns but had to be very aware as the sky was busy and a lot of people were at similar heights. The air felt very thermic, the temperature was quite cool but the sun was rising so the thermals were quite strong in places because of the large contrast in air temperatures. I made my way down to the landing site, I had no fixed tasks other than to concentrate on my active flying and airmanship. I performed a series of figure of 8 turns on the upwind side of the landing site keeping a close eye on all the other gliders. However just as I was ready to turn into my final approach for landing, one of the other gliders hadn't seen me and was already making it's final approach into land. If I had turned to land then there was a risk of a collision so I decided to extend my final s turn to allow the other glider to land first then I tried to come in behind it. However that extra wait combined with some heavy sink lost me a lot of height and I ended up landing very early and going through a couple of bushes, I wasn't injured at all and gathered my stuff and went to analyse what went wrong. The other pilot had a dead radio and hadn't seen me, and zabdi said I did the right thing because I took evasive maneuvers to avoid a potential collision, even if that meant landing in a tree! She said if that situation happened again I could have just kept flying further forward and land further up the landing site instead of doing a longer turn, but it was good experience and I'll certainly learn from it. Total flight time was 40 miutes.
This afternoon the skies were too strong for flying so we did a couple of hours theory and watched some videos showing how to get out of various stalls and spins. Thanks to Markus for letting us invade his house!
