Simple. Buy a 6mm Bosch Multi Material Drill Bit
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/26900/...-Bit-6-x-100mm

Position the wood & drill right through wood & wall in one go - at
about mid point. Insert hammer fixing
http://www.screwfix.com/prods/28374/...0mm-Pack-of-50
and whack in 90%

Level the timber & drill & fix as above at top or bottom. Check
level, insert other 3 fixings as above.

Stuff can be bought at B&Q if you don't have a Screwfic depot handy.



Cheers

Those thigns in your second link - what are they exactly? like wall
plugs but you can just hammer them in instead of screwing?


Absolutely - Hammer Fixings. Same size drill goes through timber & into
wall, insert fixing, bash with hammer. The plastic plug stops flush with
the timber, the 'screw' carries on to open the plug.

The screw head is for removal. Just make sure the drill is long enough.
